Nah. Just coordination. I'd be happy to donate a CD to my local
library(s) and I'd be willing to bet that others (including SUN as they

Well, it's too bad that the AOL CD's aren't CDRW otherwise we could use
them... then again, AOL don't seem to be sending them out much anymore
so maybe we could get them to donate their CD's & factory to cut OOo
CD's instead :-)
