A note regarding the "Core Collection" tags: These were all assigned according to the books by D. Sulpy (if you click on the tags, you'll get to the books). However, I haven't added any tags in over one year, although many discs do have "core collection" status. This will be updated when time permits. A note regarding updates/submissions: There is a gigantic backlog of readers' submissions waiting to be added. So please, before you submit something, please ask me first! Do not simply send big attachments. Never send images in BMP format. Use JPG only (reasonably sized, not too big, not too small!). Be patient with me. Every submission is added to a (long) queue and will be processed and added eventually. Don't underestimate the time it takes to handle this all, and don't underestimate the gigantic size this site already has - this slows down everything.
