[plug] Success: 3 x Mandrake in TAFE library!

[Mark Nold]

A nice way to distribute CD is to put em in DVD cases, that way you have a 
book sized box with lots of room for pretty pix and a slot for a little book.

If (whomever started this thread) wants a couple of cases i have some spare 
that id be happy to donate.
