Wow! Everybody in the Universe seems to be signed in to get the files, no one seems to have much more than the very early bits of it.. :) I'll leave mine up for a while, if it ever downloads.. but at least it has begun to download.. if it doesn't work out, I'll try some of the other locations tonight. /me knocks self in head.. gotta remember to look for a different url than the main one when the first announcements are out. BTW was there an answer to the question of the legality of MP3s or are we going w/ Novel's licensure of Realplayer? ( I mainly use Ogg-Vorbis anyway.. but some stuff is still MP3 only so it's good to know.... ) -- j I've lived in the real world enough, we're all here because we ain't all there. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
