Robert,

Yet another request for a CD version. How much would it take to burn 200 such
CDs and mail them? Don't you have undergraduate slaves, errr, assistants to do
this type of thing?

There could be release 1 (3 through 5 plus a few 6), release 2 (a couple dozen
more 6), release 3, etc. $10-$15 a pop, they would probably sell well, and they
would allow quicker download from the free server (since fewer people would
download). You could also send a boatload of them to CCC and have them sell them
for you.

Of course, DVD would be even better. One disc. But, I do not know where you
would get a DVD burner cheap.

And, you could throw a party for your slaves with any proceeds (and get Eugene a
new motherboard or something).
