Got VHS tapes? Borrow a friend's DVD recorder and copy them to digital. Unless, of course, you borrow said DVD recorder, and find it dead.. then find it has magically come back to life a week later.
14 VHS tapes in the cupboard... net stuff worth saving: 10 minutes worth.
Interesting notes: programs I used to watch on TV before we got the DivX Channel: The Sopranos, Boston Public & Ed.
Here's the 7 minute piece that was worth keeping for posterity: an interview David Strassman did with Tim Finn.

(Americans don't get quite as much Neil and Tim as we do down here, so they like when people like me put things like this online...)
