Thank you for your new book and Webcasts on BI. I am very interested to see a series of 33 Webcasts but I have a problem with stopping and continous buffering. So for me it is impossible. Would be possible to get all the Webcasts by downloading or sending to my email: mjedrus@wp.pl?

Lynn, I can not find a way to download these for offline viewing (while I'm on a plane) it looks like the only way to watch these is online. Could this be changed so that they can be downloaded like the other content
