Probably going to stay there. It's pretty bandwidth intensive and I don't really want to start paying for things like that myself when I have their resources available to me. Although having said that with a few meg of sounds and images and about forty thousand people trying to access it at once, the server did struggle a bit! We actually had to take it down and put it in html for a while to help lighten the load, so we don't have an accurate count of how mnay people have viewed it. Apparently one US government server alone tried to access it 26,000 times in one hour. Perhaps George set the Feds on me

I've just started the Jedi article actually, but I have less time this week. What's very strange about this whole thing is that one UK magazine has expressed an interest in running a piece on my articles. Early days yet so it may never happen, but if it does it might at least show people the extent of the tinkering over the years. Ideally I'd like to get some better quality rips of the OT, cause while the Dr Gonzo discs are ok for watching on TV they don't look too good when captured for the articles., but I'll have to wait and see how the current crop of laserdisc rips turn out.
