Hi, Russell:

  I'm planning something like this for the hard-disk recording chapter,
and the disc storage is cheap so there shouldn't be a problem with
including the basic materials along with the finished product. Should be
cool... :)

  I'll probably do something similar for the MIDI sequencing, MOD
tracking, and soundfile editors chapters. And maybe the network audio...

Best regards,
