Hi all,

Regarding the new Red Cross CPR-instructions download initiative,

Both excellent points, guys .. I have alerted the Red Cross media people
to the Oz-teachers list archives, and, both of your emails have thus been
brought to the attention of management at the Australian Red Cross. Both
are fine points, and although I'm sure everyone wishes the Red Cross well,
and would applaud this CPR initiative, your questions do need answering.

Now awaiting a response from the REd Cross regarding the points you have
raised .. let's see what they say. Hope they can come to some sort of deal
with Telstra etc regarding wide, & cheap, access to their fine initiative.

Cheers people
