This would probably be more expense than it's worth. To have 500 CDs
comercially produced will cost something like $2000. That divides to $4
each, but whoever made them would also need to take time to do cover art,
distribution costs, have a margin to cover unsold CDs, etc. Total cost per
disc would be $10 or more. I suppose there are people who would buy the
disc, but I would download the whole site on my x2 modem first. That way,
I don't have to wait for the disc to come, and it only takes all night to
transfer that much. BulletProof FTP. :)
