Just looking through some old posts and randomly clicking on each posts related links at the bottom of a page and this one from browolf came up.

 

Great stuff - old videos of hardware and software. I've just watched one on the browser wars. A must have collection to show kids in school.

 

I wonder what the rules are for downloading them and archving them to DVD. They may always be there but it would be gutting to see them dissapear one day.
