We, With great thanks and gratit= ude to Jordan and CDrom.com have a lot more 3.0 CD's than we could ever sell in= a reasonable time. (we would be on 5.0 by then) However I belive I would rather give 2.8 CD's as they are a bit more "stab= le" and forgiving for new users. 3.0 Cd's have the possibility to turn a new user off. (just my 2cs) Jordan/CDrom If you could get me some 2.8 CD's I will compile a list of schools and Library's (statewide or more) and we could make it a joint dona= tion. If you don't have any 2.8 CD's We could do it with the 3.0's but I would rather not. I'm sure we at BAFUG can organise an event for Envelope labeling and such = to make a mass mailing and donate as much postage as possible and solicit donations for what we can't do. Now a great companion for this would be if someone has or wanted to create= a small 10-20 Page instalation and setup guide that we can photocopy and put = in along with it..... Anyone out there in BAFUG land handy with Database to label creation on FreeBSD?
