Much happier with real pressed CDs. Then there are the various linux/open source events where endless distributions hand out free CDs. > Does anyone think these store make any money?

Where is the value add? Demand just isn't there. Even when I was still on dialup v90 for the most part I still downloaded ISOs. Leave it on overnight and it's usually done by morning. Prior to those days on occasion I'd buy a CD, my memory from back then is foggy. Which I suspect is why most of those other places like linux central and stuff offered things like stuffed tuxes, stickers, and other gadgets. Still have a few of those myself.. nate
