I have a question... Someone handed me a 5 pack of Maxell CD-RW's and a pack of 9 Sony CD-R's. I am assuming this was meant as a donation for the CLUGoppix CD's we hope to hand out at Convergence. If anyone has details on this can you send them to me off list? I would like to know who they were from and how we can reach them to say thanks.
