John B. Wonderful. Would you mind making a few copies? I have taken advantage of the Office Depot rebate sale -- spindle of 100 Imation CD-R blanks for less than $10 net including LA tax after rebates. So I'd be more than happy to provide a few blank CDs. On this slow dialup I suspect they'd have buried me before the download completed and then I wouldn't need it.
