Does anyone have a copy or know where to purchase the video series "The machine that
changed the world" that was produced by WGBH for Nova? I remember recording it years
ago but have since misplaced it. It hasn't been available for purchase for a while as
I understand.

Have you tried contacting WGBH in Boston? They may still offer it in certain
formats.

Russ,
Yup! They said it was no longer available. The operator even gave me a
couple of other numbers to try with no luck. Too bad as it was a nice set. A lot
of great old footage.

I'd be surprised if WGBH or the ACM (who partly sponsored it) has
it available. A little while back, someone from the ACM put out
a plea for anyone who had a copy to send it to them for copying.
When I offered, the response I got was that they had someone that
looked like he could provide it but if that fell through they'd
be in touch. They never got in touch, so I assume the other source
worked out. Given that, I doubt that anyone would be too bent out
of shape for people to make copies for each other.

Hmmm, I'd be interested in a copy of this as well.

I went to the Nova subsite under PBS.com and they have all sorts of Nova
episodes on tape and DVD but no mention of the one he's looking for.

Are you _sure_ it was produced for Nova? I'm sure each episode has an
introduction designed specially for the show, rather than the Nova intro.
(Yes, I have it on tape. But since I recorded it myself the quality's not
as good as it could be. Courtesy of a friend, I _do_ know what the Latin
words in the theme song mean! But I don't know if they were made up for the
show or are a quotation.)

I've made further calls to the local library system and came up empty. Maybe it is
available in a library system from a different town/state. WBGH also said to check
with a local PBS affiliate to find out if it is going to be rerun at any time.(I
came up empty there as well)

I've even done some searching within the online auctions, present and past
auctions, and nothing.
Some libraries are under sharing programs and can search for periodicals,
videos, books, etc that are available throughout the entire sharing system.

Hi Brian
I have a copy of it but the problem is I dont know where I put it :-(
Also, I missed a couple of minutes from some of the series (I believe
the last one), but other than that, it is a great series. I am currently
moving
so most of the stuff is boxed up. Once I finish moving, I can make a copy
for
you.
Ram
PS: Still waiting for the SUN :-)
