Guys, guys, guys (and gals!)..... I've seen at least 3 postings by Mike or
Lionel in the last two months (maybe 3) telling us that they've run out of disc
space. When they get more space, they said they'll put up the newer discs. 

Nothing personal Michael B., but please remember that these guys are doing us
a *huge* favour - careful how you phrase your request....

Now, on a related note, how about the first USENET whip-around, pass-the-hat ?
Everybody send a small donation to Mike/Lionel to be able to buy a new
600M or so disc...hmmm, about that CD-ROM...how 'bout getting that for
discs 1-360, and using the valuable magnetic stuff for the newer discs...
Can it be done ? Anybody ?  (Seriously!)

Cheers,
