Count me in too. I'm in Edinburgh but so is Murray and I bet there is stuff there we both don't have.

We've come a long way from the days of cassette tapes when I started collecting.  The Carried Away site has been great for distributing a huge number of shows via CD-R trees.  I've put maybe 25 shows on DIME and others have done the same.  I've shared shows through Megaupload, etc.

I've been able to put FLAC copies of all my shows on a small pocket external hard drive.  I also have Apple Lossless versions of the shows on the drive, to make it easy to import them into iTunes.  I've shared this drive with another collector on this list who was kind enough to add some shows I did not have (I got burned out on Television and stopped collecting for a time).  So, at this point I think I have all shows currently in circulation.  I have DVD's on the drive as well, as well as scans of vintage Television show posters and Village Voice advertisements for shows in the 1970's.

The way I see it working is that we could use the Carried Away site to sign up (Keith, I presume you could set that up?).  The vines could be set up in such a way to efficiently move the hard drives from person to person.  Each person receiving the drive would have say, one week, to plug the drive into their computer and copy the files they wanted, and then box the drive back up and mail it to the next person on the vine.  Hence, the cost to anyone signing up is simply the postage to the next recipient.  At the end of the vines, the hard drives could be mailed back to me.
