Hi Alex, At the top of the page listing distributors we need to something akin to warning motorists of a toll road ahead. I do not think that I am Robinson Crusoe here, but it seems that a lot of the Windows users do not live on email like we do. OSS has a cultural dependency on email, but a lot of my inquirers send me an email ordering a Free CD and give me their snail mail address and then just expect it to arrive. To every inquirer who contacts me I send a standard email explaining that D/L is free but CD has a token fee attached. I do not want them to receive a CD without being aware of this. It could cause some unpleasantness if they think they have been "ripped off". But, sometimes it takes weeks for them to get the message. And sometimes I get an email asking "where is the CD I ordered?" But for which I have no agreement to proceed. SHORT version. Tell they will be up for a token fee determined by their distributor. Tell them to expect a reply before sending the Disks. Tell them to monitor their email closely for a day after sending their request. That should cover it. Cheers Andrew Greig Melbourne, Australia BTW This Sun deal is just so poetic. Imagine an ad for the opposition popping up in an update Java message on Windows. Soooo good!
