Freudian slip?

All,

The recent (and past) debacles of bandwidth and what not,
have motivated a few of us to put together a possible solution.

If there is enough interest and no major objections, we're thinking it
would be nice if people could have their *own* vector mirrors of spies
and possibly other resources.

We're proposing to make archives on DVD.

This would not only keep us from being caught high and dry
when you need a manual the most (I think we've all been there), but also
help out those of us with slow internet connections or *no* internet
connections, like when you're out in the field.

We're thinking it would help keep costs down on the web based mirrors,
by keeping them from having to cover the cost of bandwidth needed to
deliver this material repeatedly; how many times have you viewed the
same manual? Also, hopefully to prevent people from feeling like they
all have to make their own mirror via a massive web download of the
entire archive.

Depending on interest, we're thinking we could swing it for $20 per
backup. This would cover the costs associated with producing the disks.

This offer is intended for vectorlist members, possibly the rasterlist
if it's required to keep the cost down, but is *not* intended to be
"pubic".

Please feel free to reply offline (at shostak@cinelabs.com) and let us
know if you have any interest in the project and if the price sounds
reasonable.
