What If?
What if I found a load of pre-production Speccy tapes, not that I have or anything, that I wanted to be preserved. How would I go about doing this? And who should I contact?
If I did find the tapes, not that I did or have done or anything, whom should I contact.

The TZX Projects
Maintained by Martijn van der Heide, Steve Brown, Andy Barker, Tony Barnett and Juan Pablo L?pez-Grao.
As far as projects go, the TZX project is probably the mother of them all. Its goal is no less than converting every single piece of software commercially written for the Speccy to a digital format. More precisely, it seeks to convert the software saved on ordinary tapes to the TZX format, which will allow anyone to download the games and run them in an emulator.
also known as the Spectrum Tape Preservation project

I've had this before on verious forums! Everyones SO CLEVER! They usualy know the simple answer to my question, but make me work for the solution.
This is the usual reply...
http://www.google.co.uk/
...to which I reply - get fucked!
If you know the answer and want me to beg, then go to hell! LOL!
If you know the answer then give it to me - and stop trying to be clever.
I am now going to have to search for the knowledge - that you know - and could just give to me and save me messing about, but - oh, no. You are going to be a pain in the arse!
i don't know the info, i am mile that is my cross. ;)
wasn't trying to be cute, the question mark was for other users, not trying to be rehtorical.
Sigh too!
Not so hard was it. Thank you.
Obviously Martijn is also on the list, but I hear he's busy running some kind of website. :)
errrrm
i here he gives boysfood a hand. :p
Well I could have PM'd Martijn - but for such a trivial thing I didn't think it was worth it!
I have just been wound up is all! If someone asks for info and I know the answer then I give it. Simple!
I asked, a few months back, on another forum, who was responsible for a certain peice of music on BBC News 24. And one of the Mods, whom knew the answer, told me to search. Which I did, and it took time to do but I found out eventually - but she just could have said it was done by 'such' and 'such' a person and got herself in my good books! (It was David Lowe by the way - to save you from searching).
EDIT - embedded problems, can't be arsed. Click on it!
i didn't know the answer, was trying to help and pointing you in the right direction. i'd help you if i was able.
my post count doesn't increase by itself. ;)
PM sent. :p

Hey ! That`s my line !
David Lowe is British [[composer], focusing primarily on music for television and radio. His work includes all the current themes for BBC News.
Other British television programmes include The One Show, Panorama, Wildlife on One, The Really Wild Show, Grand Designs on Channel 4 and the Five motoring programme Fifth Gear. He has also created musical identities for the Al Arabiya Channel and Abu Dhabi TV in the Middle East, NDTV in India and TV2 in Norway. For radio he produced the current identity for the BBC World Service.
In 1997, Lowe released his debut album, Dreamcatcher. He performed a live mix that year at the first Thames River Festival, which accompanied a record breaking tightrope walk across the river.
