Hi Michael. You are probably right about the CDs. When CDs are requested, we always send two. I don't think I know who Richard Seltzer is or what he does. Like you, I have been watching dual layer DVDs, but the price is still quite high. Shop4tech.com has them for $2.50. It doesn't make sense considering that one single layer DVD costs just $0.26. Thanks. Aaron On 7/16/09, Michael S. Hart <hart@pobox.com> wrote:
First thoughts:
I've not sure there is any need to send CDs except when requested, and they will be, probably by those who need them most, but we are here and now living mostly in an age DVDs, so send two of them.
When they ask for CDs, send two of those. . .even if the same one.
We can also refer people to Richard Seltzer.
I should also mention dual layered DVDs, but every time I look the price still seems too high.
More thoughts?

Hi all.
I'm sorry for disappearing for a while. I've been dealing with some health issues, work, and school, but mainly health. Anyway, I think it may be time to create a new DVD. The latest one is 3 years old this month. However, the project has obviously grown drastically in that time, so I'm wondering if one DVD still makes sense?
The drawbacks to creating a 2 DVD collection that immediately come to mind are: 1. In the DVD/CD mailing project, we have consistently been sending two copies of the DVD, or a DVD and CD. This will either have to change, or we will have to pay more for postage. 2. It takes twice as long to download. On the other hand, if you can download 4GB, it's probably not that big of a stretch to download 8. 3. It's not as elegant as one DVD. This is probably the least important, but just thought I'd mention it as it might prove important to some.
It is of course possible to stick with just one DVD, but it will require leaving out a lot.
Any thoughts/ideas?
