I heard dat!
Ack Shirly, I was thinking it would arrive in the hands of
someone who does, and that, then the uploading to abf will/would
begin. Mines only hi-speed down. Up, sucks, and fails.
Effectively rendering Charter users to leech status. I hate it!
Paul Allen compadre of you know who owns Charter. Apparently the
greed isn't confined to Billy Boy. They won't even sell Hi-speed
up here. Prolly cause I could pass around all my M$ warez at
fiber (lightspeed) optic rates, yeah right, that's it.

I thought it might. ;)

I plan to update the list on a daily basis for the next few days.
Juzme, look for an email from me.

Juzme volunteered to do some burning - his CD went in the mail today
(along with one for Mark Warner and one per the request of a freeware
author).

I'll send more to other burners on Monday. I *hope* the CDs will start
*arriving* in the first part of next week so those will probably be the
last CDs I burn for the group (I'll be making copies for family and
friends).

Question for the burners:

ISTM that people in ACF who don't have CD burners might want extra
copies to pass on to others. Any thoughts on that?

Plus some of us just don't want to give out our snail mail

I would appreciate receiving a PL2004 CD please.
The location is Alberta in western Canada
Perhaps I then could burn a few and mail them to others in this
region.

Best,
Dave

I'd have no problem with that, within reason, of course. I'd
ask that blank CDs be sent and the postage be covered.
 
I do. I'm in Scotland. I'd also be happy to burn CDs for others.

Well that's two escapees from scs prepared to burn.

If it's easier for Susan, I can pass my first burn onto Semmie !

Hey SP, where are you ?
I'm in Lanarkshire, might be easier to just hand you it rather
than post.

Sneakemails are made to be used & disposed of.
Lessen 'course you're a hiden' from the sneakemail people too,
which I can understand, but if that's the case, better not've
ever given personal info and sneakemail addys to the same
person, or you're toast!

Not a big deal to me, as long as it doesn't get silly. I frankly don't
anticipate being overwhelmed. I suspect that by the end of next week,
once the CD gets out and someone puts up the .iso, demand will taper
off. I would imagine most people know *someone* closeby with access to
both a high speed connection and a burner, and the need to snail mail
disks around will go away for the most part.

As far as the procedure outlined in on the web page... I'm not gonna
require that the requester send a disk and a stamped, self addressed
mailer. I've got disks by the bucketfull, a box full of sleeves, a dozen
mailers, and access to free postage (within reason). If somebody wants
to stuff a buck or two in an envelope, my return address will be on the
mailer. If not, no big deal. With all I've gained by learning about the
freeware movement all and it entails, the least I can do is help spread
the message.

I'm in Bloomington, Indiana. Once I get the CD from Susan and get ready
to go, I'll post to the group. In the meantime, if anyone is closeby and
wants to be put on MY list, you may contact me at:

Indeed! Ican't imagine a PricelessWareCD not being upped by
somebody to alt.binaries.freeware.

Unless, mayhaps we need a bi-directional hi-speed volunteer
to, volunteer to: recieve the CD from you, or someone else, and
up it to usenet.
 
me too

Ah, but we haven't gone *public* yet. Who knows what the demand will be
once the info is *officially* posted on the PL site. . .

Maybe we should have a pool on that? ;)

Susan,

I would guess that ANY of the 3 people who downloaded files for the cd
probably have high speed internet access and would probably post it to
alt.binaries.freeware AND you have their return address on the mailer
that the CD came to you in.
