Re: Broadband - Friend Or Foe...?

Yup... My latest fatal mistake is finding a site called the Internet Archives, which has THOUSANDS of public domain films from the beginning of the 20th Century onwards... including a lot of Public Service stuff from the '30's, '40's & '50's that are just hilarious in their earnest ineptness... Though the 'highly optimistic' Cold War advice films like 'Duck and Cover' and 'About Fallout" are sobering in their stupidity.

(And if you ever wondered where some of the inspiration for "Hi... I'm Troy McClure!" from The Simpsons came from, look no further... particularly in the episode "Duffless", the one where Homer has to go to Driver's Ed class and almost falls off his chair laughing while watching a "Red Asphalt"-like shockumentary!)
