    Does the longer version of SOUTH PACIFIC still exist?

    These are two photos from the 1958 Australian program that may be of interest. The program also has a quote from Oscar Hammerstein: " If we had the whole world to choose from and were doing it over again, we couldn't have a more perfect cast"

    Getting “server error” for some functions

    This "database error" alert occurs at least once per day. I was just logging in - not doing a search. On Safari/MacBookPro. Maybe it's the hot summer weather down here in Australia :confused:

    Full screen covering ads?

    Pos up everytime I head to HTF. Can't close it for at least 10 secs. Really annoying :angry: (I'm in rural Australia - using Safari on MacBookPro).

    What browser are you using on your Mac?

    I use an ancient 15 inch MacBook Pro (the last with a DVD drive) running Mountain Lion OS (mainly because of legacy software). I've almost always use Firefox Legacy. If an issue occurs, I use Waterfox Classic. I've never liked Safari.

    My Three Sons Australian Release-Did Anyone Buy It?

    I've just been on the phone with the Manager of my local JBHiFi store, and their online Fulfilment Centre. The website listing is an error - it should not be there and should have been deleted. The Manager said the item has now been deleted in Australia and is no longer available - that is why...

    Twilight Zone - The COMPLETE Definitive Collection (28-Disc Set)?

    Much appreciate the explanation! I was going crazy - thought my Blu Ray player was on the blink :wacko:. Surely it wouldn't have taken much effort to put some sort of title over the black image, or even put a printed insert into the box set. Never mind, at least the missing footage was found.
