   True, but since I made a similar argument for what it *really* means
to do/sell something "at/for cost", I will say this in my own defense: I
work a (more than) full time job and operate JRTwine Software (and do
outside design work) in my so-called "free" time. Taking the time to
burn the CDs would take away from that time, and family time.

   That being the case (and with consulting rates going upwards of
$100/hour) I would personally be pissed if I was making arcade related
CDs *available* for $15 (it would not be "selling", because it would be
at a loss), and someone complained.

   Just my $.02...

   Peace!
