Ordinarilly, I'd say that this would be slightly too large for e-mail
(but only barely -- as I recall, many ISP's only allocate 10 meg per
inbox, and some balk at a single message larger than 1mb, but with
digital cameras, broadband access, and the lemming-like actions of the
general public, these limits are less frequent)  I even got on one guy's
case who sent a 4mb .avi file to a mailing list, so suggesting a 5mb
file via e-mail /to the list/ would be a bit hypocritical right now...
;)

However, "I'm at work" where I have a lot of bandwidth and not too much
in the way of attachment size limits, so if you e-mail them [just] to me
BEFORE noon I'll add them to the CD I'm making with the eclipse and
netbeans downloads.

While I'm on that subject, though -- it looks like I only have two
blanks (which is ok since only one person responded and I know Bob will
probably want the other as he is one of the people on dial-up in the
first place...)  Since I'll have the files, if anyone brings blanks to
the meeting I can make more tonight.  (or, since caltech has an
uber-insane(*) 'net connection, you can download them there as well...)

(*) Caltech has participated in setting "internet2 land-speed records";
the most recent in January of 2005 with a speed of 72,225
"terabit-meters/second" [that is 5.11 gigabits/second in terms you might
be more comfortable with] which is actually slower than their mark set
in November 2004 [184,877 tb-m/s, using dual-opteron machines running at
2.4ghz]

This and several other records can be seen at
