I'm a big Centipede fan myself. My husband and I have a lot of stuff like that around the house, like a Buddy Jesus (from the movie Dogma) that my husband bought before we met and my figurines from the first Star Wars prequel. I remember my first computer that my Dad got me in 1989; he raved on and on at the time about how powerful it was, but the thing had almost no storage space on the hard drive and was slow as molasses. I did use it during undergrad, as it had a decent writing program on it, and Dad had loaded Mathcad on it at some point. I think he upgraded it a few times by adding more memory chips, etc. Finally junked it after I crashed my car with it in the trunk, and I couldn't get it to boot up. Tech advice question: I have a bunch of data from grad school on some zip disks. Other than digging up an old computer with a zip drive from god-only-knows-where, are there any converters I can buy that can get those data off that disk? Pac-Man table-top game–cool!

I think BBC America tends to pick up things that are *super* popular on the BBC. The first thing that would happen - if this series does well - is that it would probably be repeated on BBC2. After that, there may be a chance of BBC America picking it up... but we've still not even got through the 1970s yet so there's still a long way to go until <b>filming</b> is finished, so I've no idea what the final programme will be like! If it gets picked up by anyone else (eg Discovery), then I'll be sure to let people knwo. Lee, I’m not sure to be honest.

Any idea of the odds of it showing up on BBC America so we can see it in the States? Hi Gia, This show sounds great.
