Thank you for your patience while I transitioned the Free downloads Page files from
mobileme to a new server.
All the files have been uploaded, the page tested and all the free files can now be accessed.

PC or MAC?
I’m a Mac person – all my videos are shot with an iPod Touch and then edited using iMovie on my Mac. Wouldn’t think of switching back to Windows.
But sometimes Apple does things that really foul things up.
Up until recently, I used mobileme (from Apple) to house the free download files found you find on this site.
Apple has closed mobileme and although I downloaded all of the files I kept there, I have not yet got them uploaded for access to them from the web.
So if you see the “mobileme is CLOSED” sign when trying to download files, it means I have not yet uploaded those files to the new server. So please bear with me during this time while I get all of these files uploaded and the links restored.
Oh – and if you have any other related problems accessing any thing on this site please let me know and I’ll get those fixed too.
Sorry for the inconvenience this has caused and I’ll get the Free Downloads up and running as quickly as I can.
Thanks,
Randy
