Wrong. NOWHERE does he provide the url for downloading the material. He only states that the film is "available from the Prehlinger Archives." If one has never heard of the Prehlinger archive what does that mean? If he was doing anything remotely akin to a public service he would put the URL - not some thinly veiled attempt to give his "service" credibility. > It took me several days at 15 hours a day > to get them all downloaded and recorded on a CD.
