Actually, I'm OK with David's response.  I don't see much difference
between 2000 and 3000 extra copies ($4k vs. $6k).  I was more worried that
we'd have something like $10-15k and 7000 copies sitting in someone's
garage. And of course, we only really need to sell about 1200 PAMs to
break even for the 3000 we are purchasing.  I'm not going to quibble about
an additional $2000 here.  Hopefully we are going to get the remaining 60
copies of Issue 2 so we can sell all eight as a set to the first 60 lucky
buyers... (see, that's 400 right there, 1/3 of our break-even).
