Harry,

This may be an obvious statement, but this can be downloaded (an ISO image is an 
exact copy of a CD or DVD -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_image ).  But, if 
you're on a modem, this download could take a week or more.  :-/

Maybe a local library, school or Internet Cafe would have a faster connection 
and/or CD writer for you to use ?

Thanks,
