 Wonderful. I'm happy that Cheap*Byte is there. They are cheap, and I heard
 many good things about them (I also heard bad things about other CD
 vendors). They are also sending free CD's to Debian developers (I hope they
 are shipping both, binary and source CD, hint hint :).

Hey, why stop their.  Why not add contrib and non-free CDs, as well as non-us 
to the people who they can send them too. :)

 So that should answer any questions anyone might have about ordering from
 Cheapbytes, and put the lie to the folks on some of the newsgroups
 constantly griping about companies selling $1.99 CDs.  When is the last
 time anyone got an email from Bill Gates saying I heard you have a
 problem...here's the fix.

*rotfl* He would sent a Debian CD, wouldn't he?

jason Cheapbytes had seen my list post on a usenet mirror, took a
jason look at the script, saw the problem, fixed it and emailed
jason it to me without my ever having contacted Cheapbytes in the
jason first place.

jason Script worked great.

I agree wholeheartedly.  I simply expressed concern regarding the
comment on debian-user -- note that I haven't bought a single CD yet.
They mailed me the script, saying if you decide to buy it, this
script should work.

That's service!

I think there isn't any question left in my mind who I'll deal with to
get the CDs.
