Yes. It is recommended to state that you want an offer in your handwritten thank you note. This is covered in the "How to Follow-Up" cast from the Interview Series
if you do not already own the series then I encourage you to purchase the series and retain a copy of the show notes on your hard drive. There is tremendous value in having that content at the ready.
Best of good fortune to you.

Absolutely. I own the series, but just wanted to be sure that even though I didn't close on the phone, I can still close in the ty note.
Thanks,
Paul.

 Yes - use the thank you note to close.  Whether you close in the interview or not (sometime I forgot to, sometimes I let the end get away from me...), I always saw the thank you note as another contact point, and used it to reaffirm my interest (e.g., close!).
Good luck.

I have the DVD but never was able to download to my ipod, do not know why but after numerous attempts, I gave up. So with that said, how do I save to my hard drive?
