Re: [school-discuss] grade book project



To everybody but Mike:
    My personal thanks to Mike -- he is donating time, equipment,
and
valuable services to my school to get us set up with Project
Gutenberg and
his company's audio book project. He's really putting his money
where his
mouth is!

To Mike:
    A suggestion about www.engima.com - since the complete audio
book for
Time Machine or War of the Worlds is in the multiple megabyte range,
it's a
slow download via modem. Could you also make available just one
chapter as a
fast-downloading demo?
Thanks,
Dave Prentice
