If Izumi would make a copy of 2.1 on an OD I send him, I would be willing to
make a copy for another floppy-less Cube owner.  We could start a 2.1 OD chain
letter so that no one would be too burdened with making copies, but everyone
who wanted 2.1 on OD could get it (if they provide a blank OD).  The last
person who received a copy would agree to respond to the next c.s.n. request
for 2.1 on OD.  I guess there is the problem of how to copy from 1 OD to
another on 2.1.  I think an HD copy must be made as an intermediate step.  Is
this correct?  How large is 2.1?  Maybe we should be required to send our 2.0
upgrade OD as proof of license to use 2.1.  Kind of hate to let that get away,
though.  How does this sound?
