  That really sounds reasonable to me, honestly.  I mean, the dealers
don't really have the capacity to deal with several hundred users
coming in every day and spending an hour copying the things.  Doesn't
it make more sense to pay the $20 (for 12 disks, after all)?  You get
to keep the disks.... :-)
