With these CD's, I'd have all the ammunition I need to go in fighting. Anyway, here's the info you asked for: 1. 100 CD's should cover my needs. 2. If you will be mailing by U.S. Postal mail, please use Address #1, as this is the address I receive mail at. But if you will be using UPS, FedEx, etc., please use Address #2, since P.O. Boxes do not accept non-USPS deliveries. Address #1: Donald Burr P.O. Box 91212 Santa Barbara, CA 93190-1212 Address #2: Donald Burr 1610 De La Vina St., #8 Santa Barbara, CA 93101 3. Here's how i plan on using these. a. In the near future (the actual date is still being worked out), I'll be doing a demonstration to our PC User's Group, on FreeBSD. Having some *free* CD's to hand out at the show (plus information flyers that I'll be slapping together) would be real nice. b. I'll also be doing a presentation to my school's Computer Club, on the same subject. c. Our school currently uses Linux for its "intro to UNIX" class. I would like to remedy this. :) To wit, I'd like to hand out copies to the instructors, department heads, maybe some students, and I'll probably end up doing a demonstration for the school bigwigs. d. My friend owns a computer store (one of those "mom and pop" type outfits), that handles a LOT of "big business" clients (local universities, corporations, etc.). I've pitched the idea to him to hold an "in-service" of sorts, that their clients can attend, to basically "sell" them on using FreeBSD for their needs, and he expressed interest in doing this. Naturally, I'll be running the show. :) Again, being able to hand them a CD, with information sheet, and saying "here, give it a try on your home system, etc." would be a good thing. e. I'm sure I could think of more uses/advocacy projects, and I probably have, but I can't recall them at the moment... I solemnly swear that I will *not* sell any of these CD's.
