The Clash was my one of my favorite band throughout the early to mid eighties. I feel like a big part of what helped me mold into who I became is gone. I can only wonder how I will feel when it's Gary's time.

I recently bought a Palm m130 color PDA, my old m100 finally gave up the ghost after two years of dedicated service and constant use. Anyhoo, I had a program called FireViewer that allows you to load up digital pictures or videos. As my old PDA only had 8MB memory, I had one short video of a 747 landing on it. However, as my new m130 has an expansion slot, which I filled with a 64MB SD card, I had some room to mess around. So I was hunting on my harddrive for .MOV and .AVI files, and I realized I had several short Numan vids from Rep-TV (Replicant's Room), so I used FirePad to convert them over to a .PDA file and viola...they worked! Now don't get too excited, for one there is no audio. Second, the quality is kinda low, only 12 frames per second, and sometimes lower as there is a 7MB cap per file and even a 30-second clip fills that rather quickly (unless you go for b/w, which defeats the purpose unless you like Gary in gray tones). Stil, it does take me back to see Gary doing 'Cars' from 1979 on my little Palm Pilot. If anyone has some interesting Numan videos in .AVI or .MOV format (.MPGs not supported, unfortunately), please let me know. You can also download a trial version of the FireViewer package (http://www.firepad.com/products/buy/download_fvsuite.shtml) if you own a PDA and want to mess with it yourself. Also, you don't have to restrict yourself to Numan videos, I have a clip from the AKC on the gait of the West Highlander White Terrier (I own a Westie), as well as some cool short airplane clips (of the SR-71 Blackbird and the F-117 Stealth Fighter). However, the one I like the most is of a wheelie by Max Biaggi, a pro motorcycle racer, where he has his bike over 90 degrees up (basically, it is past being straight up and heading toward flipping over backwards), when he is able to bring it back down by smashing the rear brake. Anyone into motorcycling would be truly amazed! Merry Christmas!
