Less > than $1 I bet. Yep, I remember reading in 'MIX MAGAZINE', a magazine about high-end audio mix down equipment and techniques, that the average cost for making a CD was about $1.27. Now I'm sure that it would be more for a small record label that only makes a few thousand or so, but yes, I can go out and have 1000 CDs made for about $3 a piece (and I have!). I would imagine that to put data on a CD would cost about the same. -= Steve =- -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- LIVE: Steve Hall (617)969-0050 | Disclaimer: If ARPA: adelie!morgoth!steve@harvard.HARVARD.EDU | confronted, I'll deny UUCP: {harvard|ll-xn|mirror|axiom}!adelie!morgoth!steve | I ever said anything.
