that d.v.d. has less than 10,000 e-texts on it.
it was up-to-date in december of 2003, when i
helped michael pass out copies of it in berkeley,
but it's outdated now, to the tune of 7,000 files.

considering its capacity, the c.d. is phenomenal.

well, that u.r.l. seems to be timing out right now.

perhaps it's because i put in "1-17000" as a range of
.txt files for it to fetch, which might've overwhelmed it.

at any rate, since i would think this might be a relatively
common request, it might be nice to provide a constantly
updated version of it, without pestering that iso-creator...
