@BuzzPatterson They were big in Australia too (one of your favourite destinations :-)) but pretty much gone although there is the odd Pizza Hut storefront still going.
@MConallin@rhettrospective Wonderful! I hope they are all being digitised before the tapes aren't playable and the machines are dead. Copied of the 1" C-format ones by the looks of it. We went through a process at work to digitise our old video and films last year.
@DaveWallsworth Hi Dave. I have lost both my parents and am an only child. I think of them daily and wonder if they think I am doing a reasonable job on earth (or not). Dad wasnโt big on praise ๐

@WG_RumblePants@DenisCarnahan@DenisCarnahan is a genius. He does โCricket the Musicalโ and โRugby League the Musicalโ and is also the technical producer for much of @abcsport live radio coverage in Sydney!
@WG_RumblePants Fantastic player and one the most humble and down to earth people you could meet. Greeted me down a hallway (he didn't know me) with "G'day mate, how are you". I just hope his health improves.
