Well, it's so hard to define what a "run" is on these things anyway.  Last 
year I did them 2-3 at a time, because it took 30 minutes each to burn a 
disk.  Now with the nifty 8x media, I did 20 the first day, stuffed em 
into envelopes, did another 20 the second day, then realized THAT wasn't 
enough & I had to do another 10-15 (I think).

As of today, there's one copy left, so yeah, I'll have to do another 10 
after the next order.  Add to that, I'm out of CD media & almost out of 
DVD blanks.  Had to put in another order not a month after my last one.

Ha!  Now I know who needs to do next year's aquascaping demo.  Yes, I did 
try to 'scape the label a little.  Still bugs me that "Aquascaping Contest 
Awards" didn't fit right.  Maybe I'll try to fix that on the next "run".

Yeah, unfortunately.  Heck, by then, I might be able to do HD-DVD or 
Blu-Ray.  At a minimum, Anamorphic widescreen.
