Downloading

You can access the full-length CD-quality versions by dDownloading them from a personalized access page.

I will give you a personalized URL (web address) of a web page which will allow you to download all versions of the answering machine messages:

• shortened, low-quality 11kHz versions (same as what you can download now)
• full-length CD-quality 44kHz versions in .wav (ADPCM compressed) format
• full-length CD-quality 44kHz versions of the files in MP3 format

OK, how much?

I DO NOT CHARGE FOR THE DOWNLOAD.

All I'm asking is that after you receive the personalized access link and are happy with it, you donate US$5 (or equivalent currency) to a charity, and it can be any recognised charity organisation you want.

That's all!!

I will have no way of knowing whether you actually give the money to charity or not, but if you want to take advantage of this, then it's your choice. If you do make the donation, then it'd be nice if you'd let me know. Whatever you do, don't send me any money, unless you want ME to give it to charity on your behalf.

If you think any of the above amounts is too much (even though it's all for charity) or if you can't afford so much, then write to me and I'll see if I can cut you a special deal.

If you think the above amounts are too little or if you're feeling extra-generous, then I'm not going to stop you donating more! :)

Is this for real?

If you're still in doubt, listen to others who have done it before you:

(Note: previously I also offered a CD, but sometimes my delivery was too slow cos of work commitments, so I've decided not to offer it anymore)

Since downloading and putting messages on my machine I've had some very bizarre replies left, which are themselves amusing. KL, What a gift you have and how generous you are with it.
If you are reading this and thinking about donating - do so and you will be well rewarded.

Well everyone except my mother in law, but that is her problem! :) I donated £25 UK to obtain download access and for a CD, and you have got to admit, it is well worth it.

What next?

If you are willing to make the donation, then this is what you should do:

• Send me an email, telling me: (1) which charity you will donate the US$5 to; and (2) the personalized name you want to appear on your personalized page - either your full name (eg., "John Doe", or something very unique "Big Bad John");
• When you've received your personalized link, make sure everything works, and you're happy with it;
• Send your donation to your chosen charity.
• Finally, email me to let me know you've made the donation, and LEAVE SOME FEEDBACK ON MY GUESTBOOK!

If the email link doesn't work, my email address is KL@oohyeahzone.com .
