Anthony,
terminology again. OK, maybe my English wasn't good enough: I meant
burning a CD-R, not pressing a CD-ROM. A CD-R medium is about 2.50 (that's
DM, I guess this would be about $1) but it'd take some time until the CD-R
burner (usually looks like a CD drive) had burnt it. For a full 650MB CD I
guess it'd be about half an hour. Less takes less.

They just have to bury it as deep As Apple did with HC player and updater.
And if they put it in a "C/C++ programmers" folder, nobody would look at
it, I guess.
