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!
