    OK, 

    1 - WE DON'T PAY TILL AFTER THE INSTALL FEST

    2 - WE ONLY PAY FOR WHAT WE SELL

        IF WE SELL ALL THREE RH LINUX PACKAGES AT 59.94 
            THEN WE REFUND RH ~$60

        IF WE SELL 0 ARCHIVES
            THEN WE REFUND RH $0

    3 - SHIPPING ~$10

    WE STILL HAVE OVER 20 NON-SALABLE CD'S THAT ARE OURS FOR NOTHING TO 
USE.

    CONCLUSION: LET'S SEE HOW THE INSTALL FEST GOES, TRY TO SELL THE 3 
RH PACKAGES OR GIVE THEM AS DOOR PRIZES.  WE'LL RETURN THE ARCHIVES AT 
NO COST AND PAY SHIPPING OR SOME VARIABLE OF THE ABOVE.

    MY IMMEDIATE HEADACHE IS THAT I'VE HEARD NOTHING FROM ANYONE ABOUT 
ATTENDING THE INSTALL FEST.   I HAVE CONTACTED THE BOSTON GLOBE AND 
COMPUTER CURRENTS REGARDING LISTINGS IN IN THIER CALANDER SECTIONS AND 
I'M LOOKING FOR CONTACTS AT LOCAL AREA COLLECGES SO I CAN PUT UP 
POSTERS.

    I'M ALSO LOOKING FOR IDEAS... IF ANYONE HAS ONE LET ME KNOW :)

How's the treasury doing? Do we need to pass the hat again, prior to 
the InstallFest, in order to cover this expense?
