[SEDXC] Remarkable DVD

[Jeff Carter]

Hi, Ed.

Rather than loaning me the disk, would you be willing to make an image of the 
disk?  That way, you could make the whole thing available for download from 
your website and folks could use Nero or whatever to make their own copies, 
and your original need never leave your hands.

I'd like a copy, by whatever means.  Worst case scenario, I suppose I could 
send you a blank DVD....

Thanks,
Jeff/KD4RBG
