Wasn't too worried about it.  Just pointing out that for an initial 
distribution where a lot of people might be interested in something that 
news servers can get a lot of data to a lot of people fast.  Thanks for 
the offer of the CD also, though I'm the type who's more likely to 
download and burn it myself.

Wasn't me!!  I used my web browser to download the file, and I assume it 
does only 1 connection.  With high speed internet, I don't see the need 
to suck down a whole site.  It'd probably take me longer to find the 
site on my hard drive than it would take to access it through the 
bookmark.

Thanks...
