[TUHS] [tuhs] Computer history preservation

[Gregg Levine]

Hello!
Thank you Nelson. That confirms largely what I've largely already
known from other sources. Suffice to say a lot of the Doctor Who
episodes confirmed are being restored, just not the way we wanted.....
However everything from Third down to the latest is available.
