Discovered this app a year ago and love it. Use it almost everytime I'm out on a walk or a bike ride. Glad to see it's getting some love here. I echo the sentiments of another commenter that said it's the shining example of what "a computer in everyone's pocket" could have been.

I loved that show. I've struggled to explain to my teenage kids what the show was about and the appeal of it .. they don't get it. I used to tape it to VHS and still have said tapes in my loft, they haven't been played back since the late 90s. I dawned on me how much culturally significant material is probably on those tapes, down to the adverts and little MTV idents and the odd music video. I really must get round to getting them digitised.
