The first basketball league to use the three point rule was the American Basketball League in 1961, not to be confused with the American Basketball Association, who first used it in 1967. The NBA didn’t start using it until 1979.

The original DVD of Pokémon: The First Movie did come with some sort of DVD software, but the software doesn’t work on Windows 10.

Not sure if it was DVD player software, as I was hoping, or just enhancements. I remember getting it to work on an older PC, so I know it at least has an archived version of The First Movie’s website.

Ah well, I guess I’ll have to buy some other program if I want to play DVDs on my PC. :/
