CDs available at Physics D106.. You pay at paypal.
Will bring some to class.

If you get on Windows XP the CD reading error:
“.......... the system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and 
Microsoft Windows applications." go here and click on the file AUTOEXEC.NT.txt  and save it as AUTOEXEC.NT.txt  on your desktop. 
Remove the ".txt" from the filename and drag it into your 
directory C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\  If you need help e-mail.

If I answer immediately I am at a phone and can help you over the phone.

CD cannot be read at a sinc site: two PCs in the 
helproom (in back, on the left) can read them. The PC 
furthest away from the entrance can be used to print 
to file, e.g. ch16.mdi, which  you e- mail yourself for printout anywhere in a sinc site.
