All of my Gatch files (audio, pics of merchandies, screencaps, scans of books, etc.) are going to be deleted within the month. I'd like to see someone take these files from me and actually start working on them. They would provide more than enough to start the gatchawiki--they were meant to be the entirety of the content of this site. Who would like them? I'd hate to see all the years of gathering disappear--someone surely could make use of them! Katse

I would be curious enough to possibly use them. How much storage does the items take and does it take a paid site to be able to hold all of them? Sorry for all the questions, I'm just too new to some of the internet things. Also why will they be deleated? You aren't leaving us are you?

I'll have to check about the space...I don't know much about the Internet either. I may have a gig of files, I'm really not sure. I'm willing to burn the items onto DVD and mail them to whomever if they would like them. I'm not leaving Gatchamania, that's for sure! I'm converting this computer over for business use and I need all the space I can get. If you want the files, PM me your mailing address and I'll burn and send them off (hopefully) before the end of September. You'll have an absolute ball going through everything. You'll also probably discover exactly how Gatch-obsessed I really am. Katse

Just out of interest, do you have a gmail account? While it'd take several emails to get them across, the storage size of the account would mean it might be possible to email them. I'd certainly be interested in having them.

I'd be interested in any bits n bobs you have too.

It'd make an ideal extra gallery on the site. We'd just need to work out what to put in the descriptions for each.

If you would be willing to put them onto a disc then I would love to have a copy. Will work out any details in PM.

Looked for your e-mail address on the members page but didn't find it so I invited you on to my yahoo messenger. Hope that it's okay with you.

Seeing that so many people are interested in what I have... Cep, can we set up an ftp and I could just upload them there? Then we could give people access and they can download or upload what they want. I'm also on MSN--my email is d9yaa(at)unb(dot)ca. Or email me at auricia(at)nb(dot)sympatico(dot)ca. Then we can coordinate times and some of the items can be sent through MSN. But I have sooo much, and so many of you want the stuff, the ftp or communal place to download seems to be the best idea (and cheapest--I can't send the stuff to everyone!). I didn't think any of you would want it! Katse

That sounds like a brilliant idea. If there's too much to put on all at once, it could be put up in several lots (say, x much per week or something like that - depending on how long you can keep it on your pc).

I'll set an FTP account up as soon as I can.

I'm looking forward to checking this out! Thanks for sharing with us!!!

All I ask is for a link to be put on here, some people (like myself) don't always know where to go to get this cool stuff.

Whoo! Count me in on the getting of this stuff. ^_^

Elvin... I think your critter is drooling over that news.

The critter better not chew up the files

I agree or get them too wet with drool!!!!

*puts Fizzgig on a leash* He just can't contain himself.

Ok, I'll start uploading it in pieces, it's a lot of stuff. I'm working on products for a craft show for this weekend, so I may not get a chance till next weekend before I upload, we'll just have to see how much time I have. Some of the items you'll find: --Art from the Gatchaman OAV computer game from ages ago (includes the nude Ryu pic--bet you can't wait to see THAT!) --all the pages from Kit Katse Klub (so the msn site can be shut down and put up here) --the hundreds of pics of merchandise I've collected over the years --screencaps from some eps, including some screens from some limited release DVD by Tatsunoko --early website layout ideas and images --scans from my own books I've such a huge amount...I think I have over 3 gigs. May be close to 5 gigs of Gatch stuff when I add the music to the folder. Is that enough, you think? Any ideas what you may do with all the stuff? Like, make this the best damn Gatch site ever? *hint hint* Katse

This is soooo exciting...I can't wait to see this stuff...you're right it is the greatest site...so much fun!!!

You're awesome, Berg Katse!!!

Looking forward to it

I would leave the music files till last and let me know before you upload those. I need to make sure that bandwidth and space are not eaten up when you do all this

Never thought I hear myself saying this but Katse you rock!!!

I would like to get these too..This would help out my site too...Also just to have more stuff..I may even share some of my stuff too...Just stay tuned for that..

Just a few questions about the place where I'm supposed to upload to: 1. Is it still active? 2. How much space does it have? It looks like I have 1.47 gigs of Gatch stuff. Some of it may be copies of copies, I haven't sorted it. But I'm FINALLY ready to start uploading it. It was spread over 3 harddrives, not 2 like I thought. It took me forever to find the third harddrive and get it to work--it had been hiding in my closet for about 3 years. But anyhow... Katse

Haven't seen gatch72 around lately but there are some of the others at the web site listed above.... either drop a line over there or I'll copy and post your message over there Katse!

I think Cep set up one for me...hopefully he read this and respond! Katse

cool deal, will be looking forward to it

Yes your FTP account is still active and we got uber amounts of space so upload away m'dear xxxx

Woohoo!!!

Can't wait to see evrything, Berg Katse!

The stuff is coming! I apologize for it not being uploaded yet, but my aunt died suddenly last month of a stroke (she was only 61). She had been in the hospital two weeks before in a coma due to a lack of sodium in her blood, she made a miraculously recovery, then two weeks later she fell on the ice outside her house. She said she hurt her neck and head, and in her dauther's car on the way to the hospital, she slumped over on her son-in-law and died right there! It happened so quick the gum she was chewing on the way to the hospital was still in her mouth when she died. It's been a huge shock to everyone, especially my mom (it was her older sister). Now my mom only has one sister left. It's been really difficult for her. I've been swamped trying to catch up on the school work I've missed because of the funeral and everything, so I didn't even think twice about starting the upload. I have to update my virus software this weekend, and if all goes well, I'll start the upload Saturday or Sunday. I'm not sorting any more of it out--so take what you get and sort it yourself! There's just too much for one person to go through. I'm sure you'll love it when you get it! Katse

I'm sorry to hear about your aunt Katse...

My condolences Kat. May your aunt rest in peace. I pray for your mum, and the strength and moral support it will take to console her ( as well as you and the rest of your family) in a time like this. They say that no one is ever prepared ,but to lose someone this suddenly , is more distressing , confusing, and disbelieving an event, much less leaving many things in an upheaval. If I know anything of you like I have for the past 6 years, I know you have an iron will, and determination in your character to overcome any adversity thrown your way. Good to see you slowly get back into things, and looking forward to that upload. <>

Hugs.
