I was capturing a VHS tape from 1991 of Ten Eyewitness News last week and it featured Leon Byner interviewing Roy Orbison in 1988. I find out this morning Leon Byner is now gone.

Discovered my first pressed DVD with bit rot the other day. Only about half of the disc could be read.

A similar disc from the same series but one year older works perfectly fine though.

Early build of Donkey Kong Country 2, Krem Quay was known as Swamp Quay plus lots of other changes and unfinished bits. Way too many differences to list here.
