OK Folks...

The response hasn't been too awful, and I have had an offer for help from 
Kurt (see below). Some people have asked which of the films I'm going to 
download, well, I guess I will leave that up to the folks that want some. 
You fellows that have already indicated that you would like to watch the 
films, send me your wish list! The URL is
http://www.archive.org/movies/index.html
The URL for the player is
http://elecard.com/download/
Now, at the cost of repeating myself, please remember that you MUST have a 
pretty fast machine with PLENTY of ram to run these...

Kurt, I used the player at the elecard site, and thanks for the offer! Lets 
keep each other in the loop.

73 Folks. send me your wants!
