Amazing, isn't it!  Some people are SOOOO cheap!!! They don't realize that it
will cost them much more than $1.95 in time wasted downloading the ISO AND the
cost of the blank CD that they are putting it on.  Again ... some people can be
SOOOO cheap!!!!  BUT, perhaps it is a kid and they don't have a credit card in
which to order the cd's ... MOMMY, can I use your card ... ;-)
