FW: [Cialug] cd hand off - maybe lunch sometime this week?

[murraymckee at wellsfargo.com]

I live on a farm.  Too far out to get a cable modem.  Too far out to get
DSL.  Do you have any idea how long it would take to download an ISO
image at 22K baud?

Please forgive me if this is a stupid question but why are so many
people excited to get Ubuntu CDs when it is quicker to just download the
ISO and burn a copy? I would encourage those that get CDs to pass them
along to their non-Linux using friends as a way to help spread the word
about Linux.
