Another option would be to visit a LUV meeting for the purpose of getting data. I'm sure that there are lots of people who wouldn't want to do the whole download/burn/post thing who would be happy to bring the images to a meeting and copy them on to a laptop or USB stick. As an aside, one thing I've considered doing is putting an old PC with a Wifi access point somewhere in the CBD with copies of various Linux distributions, TED talks, and random things I think are worth sharing. There's an office in Little Collins St where I might be able to do such things. If I can arrange hosting is there someone who can donate a Wifi access point to the project? -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/ _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-main
