well, I dont want to be too much of an asshole here but I tried
getting a set from you in 2009 off of the 68k nutjob forum, sent you
my address, and when you noticed you bit off more than you could chew
I offered you disk's and postage, then there was something about how
it was going to take a long time cause your burning this stuff of a
old imac or something blah blah blah. never received.
whats new now
ps: your site drives me nuts, its difficult to find anything and every
other thing on it nags me for a login
