I haven't been on the X0 board in awhile, but I remember telling him about the missing disc, and he said he'd look for it. I believe it was around that time he dropped a hard drive and hoped that wasn't the one that had the files.

I was wondering...when his wife emailed us, did she do it with his email, or her own email. Maybe we could contact her and find out what happened to him. I'm leaning towards assuming the worse, since he never responded himself, but you never know.

As for the LD, see if the LD will fit in one of those new "If it fits, it ships" boxes, and just fill it with packing peanuts.
