Update 2003/10/05 - Due to the fact that our bandwidth issues aren't going away quietly, we have converted all files in this directory to telephone-quality MP3's. Many of these were originally recorded at 44.1 kHz off the phone line - how wasteful is that? We don't notice a difference in sound quality, but you'll notice they load faster!
