1985 computer "pioneer" interviews

I recently re-discovered about 2.5 hours worth of audio tapes I recorded
in 1985 (mostly at NCC in Chicago), including interviews with Roger
Melen (Cromemco), Maury Goldberg (MiniMicroMart), Carl Helmers (Byte
Magazine) and a lecture by Roger Amidon (TDL). In the interviews, I was
trying to get info on the pre- and early Altair days; I wasn't always
too successful, but the diversions are interesting as well. The one that
hurt the most was Helmers asking me if I had spoken with Gary Kildall.
Gary was in attendance and promised to talk with me but he never showed
up at the appointed time.

I've copied the tapes as mp3's but there is still about 144 MB of
material. What's the best way to share this material? I'll post them to
my website if people want to download them but that's a lot of stuff. If
you want a CD, you can send me $5 via PayPal to cover materials and
postage and I'll burn copies and mail them to you (outside the US at
whatever the postage costs).

I'm on digest so you may want to reply to me directly.
