I think a blank CDR disc costs about 89 to 99 cents when purchased in bulk.
That makes for some some pretty hefty markup...;-) We'll see what the market
will bear. I have a feeling that he will sell a whole bunch more for less $ is
what I think. The first couple will pay for his CDR drive at that price. 

I think sooner or later someone on the list will get ahold of this disc and
the distributed price should be much lower then (I would hope).

Another aspect is what kind of software is required to use it? Is it self
running with a built in database or does it run on access or????? 

The justification is that I suppose this tech could potentialy loose his job
over it. Maybe some other way of obtaining the CD ROM to copy for list mebers
at a little better price? Mark???? Ya said you were getting a copy...

Anyone on really good terms with a parts manager?
