Of course, for whatever reason, not *everyone* can download stuff (especially huge demos) themselves. But there are other schemes available. How about your local user group - do you have one? If not, I am the librarian for our group and I have all the demos (and much more). You can contact me if there is no one closer to you and I can send them for a very nominal fee. I, like Tad (please don't let me put words in your mouth) get pretty pissed when people complain about stuff I do as a *volunteer*. After all, it's not like I am a grad student with anything else to do 8^) To Tad and the rest of the volunteers out there, keep up the good work. Most people (I think) really appreciate what you do!!!
