Also I recognize the theme music used for this series. It is composed by David Shire and used as the Harry Nile theme from Imagination Theater. It surprised me until I realized that David Shire does a lot of creating of themes.

Thank You, after about 10 tries each I got them. I was either getting 0 byte files or that the source file could not be read, but I finally got them. ------------------------------ R
They're parked on the usual server, but it's on a new switch in the server room. I'll have to check it out. Thanks for the heads-up
I can't get the links to work either, but I'll check back. Thanks to both of you for providing entertainment.

For you I switched storage providers for my Mysteries. I am only sorry that I don't have the energy to go back and redo the Mysteries I already saved on ge.tt, there are just too many. If only you had told me sooner I would have switched sooner, I really like your Thank Yous a lot. Enjoy!! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- R
