You probably more than paid for it with the price of gas!  :-/

Personally I just charge it on my corporate credit card.  ;-)

With the cost of CD's, it's still a lame excuse.  I can purchase (3)
CDR's for under a buck.  I'm sure SuSE can get pressed CD's cheaper 
than that in a large quantity.

I'd much rather pay $61 for the full 8+ CD set!  
(or even $100, hell it's my corporate master-card! :)

For some reason they don't call the CD's "EVAL", just the DVD.

I'll burn the (5) CD set I downloaded for you, which includes the
acrobat, flash-player, java, real player, etc.

BTW, the 10.0 final release has "-GM" in the filenames.  
Which, I just learned, stands for "Gold Master".
