If 500 disks cost around $6.00 a disk, maybe it's NOT a bad idea to have
a GNU "cd of the month".  Say you cover some postage and overheadd and
charge $10.00 per each; that's still $120.00/yr, less than most 1/2"
tapes cost.

I'd be HAPPY to pay that per year to get updates regularly without
ftp/uucp etc. hassle.  Heck, it would probably be worth the profligate
expenese of $20/month...

(For that, I'd like all the .dvi files for the manuals too)

cheers,
