Hi Peter, hi everyone,

Thanks for your efforts Peter.. I wasn't aware that the rate of
requests had climbed so much.

  What sort of feelings are you getting about the requests?
  Are they just getting asking because the CD's are being
  offered as a freebe?

What if we were to send/deliver bundles to the local computer shops
and direct people there?  (and build up the distribution network)

We could then as for a single ShipIt order.. and split it up
ourselves. There would be a cost, but it would be less overall.

or..

We approach APC and get them to do an an additional run of cover CD's
which we can distribute once the magazine is no longer available (1
month delay)..

Excellent idea! We need a local Ubuntu on-line shop.
So.. how do we make this happen?
