    I may have missed this but has there yet been a suggestion that someone gets paid to dulicate and distribute these videos? I've been waiting for Watson to get his copy copied but he is having problems.

    Surely there is an enterprising local highschool kid somewhere nearby - or even a scout/guide troupe or charity looking to raise some money?

    A new Video could be released every 6 months or as the vids accumulate. Media/Handling/postage - I'd pay $30 - $40 for the privelidge of not waiting over night to see just to see one (if I am lucky)?

    Hope this suggestion does not upset anyone.

    That would be totally against the spirit of what we are doing here. If you paid someone to distribute them, what about the people who made the vids in the first place? And neil, who allows us to post the torrents and gave us our own section of the forums?

    No, it's a free service and those who get a copy should be gracious enough to get a copy out to others. They usually are.

    I did give some consideration to doing it for some sort of fee and then asking Neil to donate the money to a charity but it wouldn't be enough to make much impact. It would also mean one person does all the work and that could be a problem.

    I think we have the best system going around and the distribution seems to work Ok in most cases.

    There's also the option of downloading them and avoiding the hard copy queue.
    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

    My 4 CDs only had 27 files on them so this will boost me up and it may be more resonable to download the remaining 8 or so.. since I too have a wonderful aapt broadband.. start on 256 then reduces to 64k.. but as i share the connection with some others I don`t feel like eating up all the good speed and leaving them in the lurch..

    Will PM address

    Any one else want a copy? I now have access to DVD burner so can send a couple out.

    Bob... I'd be all for paying a couple of dollars to make up for the price of the DVD , but could not justify paying $30+... really couldn't do something like that even if I wanted to.

    AAPT...... anyone else having problems with them slowing down way before midmonth lately? The 500megs used to get me to the 12-14th... now I'm struggling to get anything over 500kb send out over e-mail. Of course when I ask.... they wait with an answer until after the 15th and then tell me it's because my allowance was up! grrrrrrrr

    When you think it through, nobody is really out of pocket doing it the way we are.

    A person gets a DVD sent free and in turn, burns a copy and sends it on. Total cost is about $2 postage, since the DVD they sent has been replaced by the one they received.

    The only person really out of pocket by one DVD, is the first person to send it out, me.



    Actually I'm down quite a few, but who's counting.

    There's a new copy gone out this week with all the latest vids on it, but I won't name the recipient. if he (or she) wants to send it on, he (or she) can post the info here.

    The one I sent out last week also had all the videos on it, the earlier ones I sent out did not have the latest ones, but then I wasn't aware they were missing from the one I received
