[plug] PLUG is it inc

I could see the biggest problem in burning all the cd's - one or two is ok,
but where r u going to get the hardware to burn (lots and lots) of CD's?

OTOH, if u can solve that problem, sound's like a brilliant idea !! 8-)  can
i put in my order for the latest SuSE?  ;-)

Dave.
