ShipIt Requests For LoCo Team Events

[Laura Czajkowski]

Chris, fact of the matter is nobody can ever cater for 100% audience.  We
ecourage people to burn their own cd's so while handing them out to a class,
say take one among a group of students and share it or copy it, or here's
where to download the cd.
