I was never able to find a good copy of the "Cash and Treasure" segment on line,
but I did find a good copy of the Wired Science pilot last night, and trimmed
out the Brenham piece. It was 158 MB, but I don't know a good free way to
transfer a file of that size to (potentially) hundreds of downloaders without
asking you to jump through peer-to-peer software hoops, so I recompressed it to
just below 100 MB so it could be uploaded to rapidshare. It looks almost as
good as the original. The upload timed out around 60 MB into the upload, so
I'll try again and post the link when it becomes available.

Meanwhile, while the 100 MB file would only be around a 5 to 10 minute download
for someone on a decent broadband connection, it is more like a 5 to 10 HOUR
download to those still stuck on dial-up, so I compressed the ache ee
double-hocky-sticks out of it again and came up with a horrible-looking 14.7 MB
copy (a mere 1 to 2 hours download) and posted it to my web space:

Stay tuned to this bat channel for the link to the 100 MB version.
