I thought about how that might sound when I wrote it but figgured that no
one would think that I meant 'sale' of public domain software! Many users
groups charge for disks containing PD/shareware software. Typically $4 to
$6 dollars per disk and all that I have seen charge the same fee regardless
of what is present on the disk or how much/little software the disk may
contain. Personally I think $6/disk is a little much but then I have not
tried to maintain a large users group disk library either. I am sure that
the 'excess' beyond the actual disk cost probably does not go far toward
paying for all of the long/distance down-load time, wear and tear on the
machines much less the time spent by the 'librarian.'
