For the European freeware CD we didn't bother -- we just did it.  And
perhaps the fact that we have so far shipped 15,000 of them worldwide
may have helped get across the idea that something like this is worth

"good-stuff" is a much better-organized, funded, staffed effort.  (But
even so, I hope people like the European freeware CD. -:)
