: Hi Chris,
: This was a Double CD which Rich put together using video footage that he had taken and used as a 'study guide' in identifying some of the 'location' sites. Ten copies of this compilation was Rich's VERY generous donation, to be sold at the Great Mohican Gathering 2000, at Ariel's Cabin, the proceeds being donated to Ariel's Fund.
: (Well Dana, the CD's are actually to be used in a CD-Rom or computer DVD. I DID try to use the Disk in my DVD player, thinking it would be wonderful viewing on a 32in screen rather than my little 17in computer screen, however twice I got the message to 'check my disk'. So - I'm not sure if it was just my DVD player (which IS chipped for American DVD's, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to view LOTM. It isn't even OUT on DVD in Britain yet, I believe!), or my copy of the CD's, but I have the feeling that it just isn't meant to be used in 'players'. Not being very technical minded, I think that you will have to confirm that with Rich!)
: Fortunately for Ariel, but unfortunately for you, Chris, all 10 copies were sold!! However, there WAS talk at the time that if more copies were needed, another 'production run' might be done! Whether it is possible/viable to do a SINGLE one, hmmmm - Rich?? Having said that, if there are any other Mohicanites out there that may desire a copy of this WONDERFUL, thoroughly enjoyable CD compilation, perhaps Rich would give some thought to doing another 'production run' based on a number of copies being needed??
: Anyway, that's as much help as I can give you, Chris. I think it's now a case of grovelling to H.H.!! :o)
: Kate.
Thanks for the info, Kate. I think I have the picture now. I'll give it a go! My little Mohicanites will enjoy it just as they enjoyed hearing about all the locations I visited while at Gathering. We are going to go to Chimney Rock this Spring. This will give them a nice little preview, which was why I had purchased it in the first place.
