Re: [Computerbank] About the Debian Cd's

Hugh,

The CD's are costed at about 0.90 including a jewel case. We take about
$0.50 per CD (or less) to cover the cost of the burn and donate the rest.
Cheap burners are rated to last for about 1000 burns and cost abut $300 or
less.

Hence:

 * 1000 x 0.50 = 500$

..which is more than enough to cover costs.

I'm happy to provide a distribution service for ComputerBank :)
