I’m actually thinking about making a .zip version of this available online due to the requests I’ve gotten for copies and my distinct lack of burnable CD materials.

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, feel free to send a self-addressed envelope with 4 box-top UPCs and I’ll get a response to you in the order in which it was received.
