I will accept PayPal payments of $16 to jgoerzen@complete.org through the end of Saturday, June 30. I will burn and box the orders up over the weekend to go out no later than Tuesday, July 3. This $16 is valid for continental USA addresses only. I'll ship to your verified PayPal address -- make sure you tell PayPal to send it along with your payment. This is a one-time thing. Please don't try to buy these from me after Saturday, June 30. I'll be deleting the ISOs off my hard disk after I send this batch out.
