you can download them and spend the points at your leisure!
You can also add your tutorials on to cd and get it posted to you... your choice
for example if you look here:
http://www.simplylightwave.com/movie...tml?tut_id=514
you can see that you can either download or add to the cd...
most 56k guys prefer the cds as the files are big! but if your on cable your laughing
hope this helps
