Are we looking at printing "wellylug" blanks we can scribble Mandrake 9.2 or
Knoppix 3.3 on, or separate labelled disks?

IMHO, we get maybe 500 generic Wellylug disks pre-printed, so we can write what
we want to them, & then handwrite on what the actual contents are. His company
can be there on the label as well as the WLUG name/logo. Those that are not
used this time will not be wasted, as we can use whenever for whatever, & as
they generally won't be written until needed, we won't finish up with obsolete
CD's to use as frisbees or coasters.

Is he able to supply the printed disks at reasonable cost, ie, competitive with
DSE, Warehouse, etc? If so, are members interested in purchasing from WLUG
instead of other sources. Accumulate a few $$ for WLUG to help fund stuff later
on?  

Comments?
