My feelings on that are 1, nothing's free. Somebody's spending good money on the shipit program, it's just happens to not be us. 2, the shipit program has a purpose, primarily one of advocacy. If the program isn't functioning properly, and folks are getting their CDs in an unusable condition, or too late to be relevant ( e.g., just before the next release) then that purpose isn't being fulfilled. I really wish there were a marketing mailing list to provide feedback for these and other, similar issues.

Would it be faster if distribution was regional? just my 2 cents worth. Charles
