Michael, I am actually using the new machine right now, with the updater switched off. When this email came, I was just gonna go out and buy a pack of blank CD/R-W's. But since you offer, a ready-burned copy would be very nice.
As it happens, everything on this list gets crawled by Google, so I shan't post my home address, but I'll send it to you off-list by email right now. I think your email address is in these list messages, as in fact is mine, but if not please email me off-list and tell me what it is.
