~<< Videodisc was a video format used up to the mid 80s. It had both ~images and audio cut on a lathe. The final format was the size of a 12" ~hard cased floppy. How cool is that! >> ~oh yeah, i forgot about these. the place i went to college, Oglethorpe ~University in Atlanta, had a screening theatre and a ton of these. the ~guy who distrubuted them in ATL was an alumni, and Jesus told him to ~give his school movies.... ~so yeah -- this was good stuff. you had to get up and flip the movie ~over though.... I hate to chime in on any format debate as I think they're all wonderful and they all suck ass in one way or another but I remember these discs. The University that my dad taught at had a huge collection of the things and we'd watch them all summer. This was around the same time that renting VHS movies was becoming big (oh my god! they screamed, this'll kill the movie industry!) and I thought those laser discs looked great. As a matter of fact, I still have two of them that I'm going to make into clocks if I can ever find the right works for them. Sad to see this Ritchie thing happen. Admittedly I was a little freaked to see code sitting in the e-mail. Since I have no idea what it means it really bothered me and left me suspicious as well. I guess if my site had been hacked (and it was probably someone paid by Madonna or her people) I'd be frikkin' jumpy as well. All's I can say is, "Good luck, L&E, wherever you are." www.psychicreform.com Change your mind. "Look at the past 25 years. We went downhill, and if people don't realize it, they don't have their fucking eyes on ... In 1960, when I came out of prison as an ex-convict, I had more freedom under parolee supervision than there's available to an average citizen in America right now... God almighty, what have we done to each other?" --Merle Haggard (June, 2002)
