Yes but it was still wrong from a historical (as in saving material 
that is now lost) point of view. But then I doubt anyone thought of 
that back then or if a few people did then they were ignored. The 
only reason we have any kind of ET's today is that some people saved 
the discs which is why some still exist today. If they hadn't then 
there wouldn't be any!!
