Zach,

Considering this is the WPLUG list you are posting to, can we assume you are 
in the Western PA area?  If you narrow down the area where you are (town 
name, or downtown area, if that's where you are,) I imagine someone, perhaps 
even me, would be able to meet up with you and hand you the CDs to save you 
shipping time and money.

If you are comfortable with this option, perhaps it would be a viable 
solution for you?  Let us know.

Dave
