Excuse this if already said but I still like to remember Bob.

We should always remember these great figures of Datahoarding, old skool. I only recently heard about Marion Stokes and I see archive.org are now archiving her collection (maybe old news but I've only just seen it).

Over here in the UK, we had the great comedian Bob Monkhouse who it appears was doing the same. Recording loads of TV shows through his house and it was even discovered he had some shows that the BBC lost all recordings to.

He was also taken to court years ago for "piracy" but cleared however, they'd burned some of the original and only copies of some films that he'd had to hand over. How petty.
