Gail,

If there is still an active link on the Apple 
site (which there is - refer my initial response) 
then I'd say the offer is still valid, indeed the 
form:

<<http://images.apple.com/macosx/pdf/tigermediaexchangev3.pdf>>

says that the offer is valid until 22 December, 2005

So fill in the form and they are required t supply you with the CD's.

In the longer term I agree that an external DVD 
drive is a good idea but have just under 2 months 
until you are forced into that option.
