What I learned was that until I have a fairly complete LaTEX system available
to me I won't be able to do any more, and that probably won`t be until after
the installfest

Great, what is a business certificate, by the way?

As I understand it we're not really supposed to use the free CD's to "give"
them to people whom we're charging to come to the installfest.  Mark's
previous note implied that we would indeed need to charge $50/CD in order to
generate enough cash to meet our obligations.  But we only have 3.  So what
will we give the other 22 attendees?  What will those cost us.

Or should we reduce our charge to $50, and sell CD's to the first 3 that
want them for another $25?  I think we still have some loose ends here.

Right.  Glenn Burkhardt says he'll volunteer too.
