The cost of CD's and Time.

["Jim Capelle" <JCapelle@email.msn.com>]

Go for it Erik!!!   I just got into the CDRW world this past weekend and
already I I've have had two people at work ask me to take their photos and
run them through my Photo editing program and give it back to them on CD,
for free (Right, your breath too!).  I charged the boss five dollars for one
picture and another paid twenty for the editing time on 10 pictures.  In the
military I've worked for "The Flag" many times now I make sure my off times
are spend well, or it will cost someone.  Yes I'am still here too.   JiM C.

Hi.

I was figuring the judges' CDs would be done for cost of mailing. However,
if I am going to go through the trouble of preparing the website, creating
the showcase, digitizing everything, then I am going to make the
distribution of CD's for sale "worth my time" as Karen once said on this
list.  Which means I'll be buying CD-R media for $1 a pop, shipping them
for a couple bucks, plus packaging and potential artwork.  And I will be
making a couple bucks per CD on the deal.
