    Hello Shawn,

    07 Jan 23 10:57, you wrote to me:

    I also have the only season of Automan, and all of Max Headroom. The
    Max was really hard to find, ended up paying a guy on ebay a small
    amount for downloads of his VCR rips from when it was new.

    I used to have the Automan series too (loved Laura Branigan's appearance on the show) but lost it along the way.

    Max Headroom was a weird but fun show. Matt Frewer did a great job.

    I discovered that I have the entire series of "Emergency!" and the entire original "Leverage" series too.

    I have to prioritize setting up a NAS soon so I quit losing stuff.

    i love matt frewer. and max headroom was huuuuge back when i was the kid.
    the tv show was a bit weird but it was also a bit ahead of its time.

    he's still going strong and staring in tv shows and movies.

    I lost my router password so can't foward a port or I'd let you
    grab it.

    He did.

    I really should back things up, but I don't so when I loose a HDD I loose
    data.

    I could set you up on my FTP server here. I'd still like that for "completeness". <G>

    I really should back things up, but I don't so when I loose a HDD I
    loose data.

    I'm gonna put it in the budget. Even if I start out with a NAS with a
    single drive...better than what I have now: nothing.

    Hello Kurt!

    [...] I bought a book called "The Incredible world of Spy-fi" by
    a guy who collects TV memorobilia, especially old spy TV shows.

    "So thorough is his collection that the CIA visited the
    Archives and invited Biederman to display a portion from his
    massive treasury at CIA headquarters."

    The shoe phone in Get Smart was always a good laugh.


    He has a collection of Mission Impossible memorobilia,
    like all of the newspapers, coins, passports, etc from the
    fictional countries they infiltrated, the self-destructing
    tapes and business cards that Jim Phelps used.

    With an extensive collection like that, I suppose one can earn
    a nice stipend to be invited to display pieces from the
    collection as a kind of travelling museum.

    At this point in my life, the emptier of "stuff" my house is,
    the better.


    For a TV show, they did an amazing job creating a reality.

    Bond had some nifty gadgets too.
