Hello Steve,

Since I am on the East Coast, I would be interested in your proposed
posting or off-line info.

However, I wonder:

1. Are the >the most recent freely available items from IBM
including FP's, drivers and and Netscape and whatever's new from Hobbes
in the last month> also listed in Downloads? If that is the case,
those of us who can't come to meetings have the info and just must do the
downloading.

2. Is it possible to to put the collections of ready to install utilities
and tools, the ready to run emergency recovery tools, and the "runnables"
on scoug.com for downloading? Or are they there already? That would
serve my needs and maybe those of others in my situation.

I am raising these questions because I do not want to impose on someone by
asking them to pick up a CD at a meeting and to mail it to me.
