Hi Brian,

A pile of CDs sounds ... not very downloadable ;) If we gave you a Dropbox
link, would you be willing to uploadify the CDs?

Don't worry about any further cross-referencing, what you've done so far is
awesome.  There's no rush.  Enjoy your weekend instead!

I'm interested in them all. As mentioned, we could give you a Dropbox link,
does that sound useful? A CD into individual folders?

I think Adrian (who first started the Browser Archive) was concentrating on
production releases, as that's what web developers would want to test with
to ensure visitors experiences would match up with what the site owner
wanted.  Nowadays it's more about archaeology, so the more the merrier.

Let me know if you want to upload to Dropbox and I'll get a link organised
for ya.
