This is a good point. Occasionally someone will ask me why we don't sell each individual project on the DRK separately because they don't want to buy everything on the CD. The answer is that the DRK is priced with the assumption that you will use one or two things on it, not everything. In other words, if there are 20 distinct projects on the DRK, would can't sell each project individually for $5 each ($100/20). When making the build/buy decision, if the one or two projects you are interested in aren't worth the $99 (considering they are completely built, QAed and documented), then it's not worth buying the DRK. My point is that one shouldn't be looking at the value of every single project on the DRK (especially since most people probably don't even use all the products that the DRK contains content for), but rather what is the value of the portion of the DRK that is of interest to you.
