ShipIt

It took me 2 months to get cd's from shipit when Hoary was released. I
believe Breezy will be released in October, so trying to depend on
getting them by the end of October is cutting it a bit close. If I was
determined to take Breezy with me to the conference I'd probably look
at alternate means to get cd's. Or maybe get some packs of CD-R's and
burn them yourself. Shipit is great but I don't believe it's designed
so that you can plan functions and conferences around.
