wolfgang, thanks a lot. i might give a shot at finding the CDs, but depending on both the success of the search and financial mood of the day, i may end up taking you up on your offer of sending the tape. i'll email you if it's going to come to that and try and work this all out! (don't worry about not checking your mail, either; i've been known to abandon my computer for months!! why stress it?) but yeah, thanks for the help...and you'll probably get mail soon-ish! peace.
