       OK, let's do it like this then...
       
       $16 ought to cover my costs.
       
       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.
       
       Sound OK to everyone?
