I well remember the project from when I was at school. To be fair the kit was so expensive that even when the technology was current (BBC master, Philips Laserdisc, the most enourmous trackball I have ever seen before or since) I never actually saw one other than the one that came to our school for two weeks (because our school has contributed). Someone did put most of it on the web but it went again shortly afterwards, apparently problems with copyright and so on (which is a shame as I doubt any of the people involved would have been worried, but trying to contact them all after this time would be a challenge!). The technical work of getting the data off the discs was done some time ago (helped by the fact that someone from the development team kept a copy of the master tapes!) Sorry, deviation. One point to Paul Merton and he continues on the subject of Mikes web pages with 20 seconds left..... George "Bungle" Eycott
