Subject: Added to the Digest's Copy Folder
Folks;
I was reminded in the last week or so I haven't added anything to the
Digest's shared Copy folder in a while, so new to the "Radio on TV" folder is
an episode of Richard Diamond Private Detective starring David Janssen and
sponsored by Maxwell House coffee. This episode, "Picture of Fear," was
originally broadcast July 29, 1957 on CBS (the show later moved to NBC). This
joins all the other stuff I've shared in there; Orsen Welles and War of the
Worlds material, other OTR and television programs, etc.
If you don't know how to access the Digest's Copy folder, drop me a
[removed]'s free, and pretty darned useful. It's basically a better Dropbox
system.
This does bring me to something else regarding Copy, though; Barracuda
Networks, the company that provides Copy, is no longer giving the Digest
folder additional space (don't worry, there's plenty of space there already I
need to fill). This means if you use the Digest's referral link, _you_ will
get an additional 5 Gigabytes of space, but the Digest _will [removed] So I
suggest anyone who already has and uses Copy, who hasn't maxed-out their
space, and who would like additional, send me your referral link. I'll
randomally stick the links into info requests I receive; that way, if the
recipient does sign up, both you and s/he will receive the additional 5G
storage space. No sense wasting the referral, you know?
And if none of this makes a lick o'sense to you, feel free to send me
private email and I'll answer whatever questions you might have. It's easy,
and it's free.
Charlie
