ok will do. Note- the basic reason for the leaflet being non colour is quite simply, cost. At the Mac world/Linux world in London earlier in the year, I found that 80 per day (4 days) went. If there is even minimal colour, it changes the basis of cost a lot. And my wife knows I am on a pension...... There is another tangential reason for me not using much - if any - colour. Although Ubuntu is backed by a commercial company, it is easy for the onlooker to believe that these free CDs are the same as any other 'free' CD - that they have an invisible hook into their wallet. I believe that simple non colour leaflets allow a gentle message that at my end at least, this is a pure volunteer community based activity. If I do have any shipit CDs then wonderful, however, most times I burn my own and they are lowest cost, hand marked, for the same reason. -- alan cocks Ubuntu user -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
