Good idea. Okay, what I'll do is when there's about a CD full - enough to make it worthwhile - 
and enough to have a range of newbie topics covered - I'll make an ISO that has them all on. I 
can also put an autostarting page on it to show how to play them under Windows and/or Linux. 
It's unlikely to be any time before christmas at this rate. I reckon I can churn out about one a 
night if they are fairly short and are easy for me to do.

Cool, don't forget to make suggestions as to what you think should go in them. I'm basically 
working through my own list, but if anyone suggests *simple* topics for recording I'll consider 
it. 

Cheers,
