ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions. ***************************************************************************** Interestingly, today (I think) iTunes announced access to free music. Maybe it's in there? I may take you up on your offer if this doesn't pan out. Often 1 hour of music can be put on mp3 for about 10-15M. That's about all mail will hold. I'm headed out of town (hopefully) in about 10-12 days for a 3 week trip. I'll be working on the DVD in July--I hope!
