It was interesting to watch those old shows again after all these year. I vaguely remember watching them at the time but seeing them now knowing how far we've come (well, some of use are still stuck in time) was a little weird. Anyway, I was happy to archive them. I made about 13 sets. Thanks to all that picked them up, and thanks to those that donated a little extra. Not required, but still appreciated. I have 3 sets that I am mailing out to various people and hope to get those out by mid next week. For those that couldn't make the meeting please email me when you plan to attend a meeting and I will bring your set with me. If anyone still wants a set I might be persuaded to make a few more ;-) If anyone somehow got a bad disc let me know and I'll replace it.
