I agree that it'd be a good idea, but even though compression is good,
it's a far cry from the baud rate used by the Beeb, so a comprehensive
library of games on MP3 would probably not be welcome at NVG (my hosts).

However, a couple of samples for the curious would be OK.  Especially
interesting would be MP3s of tape only games, e.g. those with tough copy
protection schemes and whatnot.

In that case, you're a wacko too, Mark... :)  Yes, I think vaguely
recall the topic  on the list some time ago. (?)
