Rob, that's an excellent point. If, like me, you weren't old enough to experience the originals in the theater back in the eighties, this is probably the closest you'll ever get. Even moreso for someone like codester who wasn't even old enough to experience the special editions in '97: a good OT transfer is your holy grail.
[I'd like to say thanks for the donations we've recieved over the past week or two. While I can appreciate the effort as always, I think the money would be put to much better use by the hurricane victims in the southern US. I can't imagine the hell their lives must be right now. I'm going to be taking all we've received these last few weeks and donate it to the Red Cross, plus a little extra out of my own pocket. I would encourage all of you to do the same.]
