Ralf, glad to hear they arrived that's all I was really worried about, I know media mail can take longer at times :) I still have two more to send you if you want those too, it doesn't have to be right now, that's up to you. I'm just happy to not have to throw them in the dump or something!! Take care and I hope they weren't all already in your library.
