Hello all ...

As the BBS has now grown quite large we are looking at burning a run of CDs. We have found some software that acts as minibrowser and will run directly from the CD.

Would you be interested in purchasing this if it was made available?

What would you consider as a reasonable cost?

Webmaster

 

Yes I think so...

 

oh yes ..

 

does this mean we will get to see the X rated Penni vs Dark ***** threads!?

robski

 

Please excuse my naivety, but what benefit will this give us?

Geezer

 

yes

 

Being able to offline read the old threads

 

Allows you to get your daily BBS fix even when the BBS is down .

 

only if you ration yourself, otherwise overdose!

 

Yep, im up for this!

 

sounds like a great idea, under a tenner? (who called me a cheapskate?)

 

Alternatively just webSnake the site.

How many Mb's are we talking here? (yes I know the average CD is 650Mb thankyou)

The joys of a freephone ISP.

 

Sounds good to me.

I think PeteT is right, around a tenner is about the right price.

I'd buy for a tenner.

 

sounds good - though tenner is quite cheap considering the content you will be getting...it includes words of wisdoms from some of the greats (um...well....) - okay - tenner it is!

 

Count me in....tenners good.....will you take 10 post dated rubber chq's???....

 

10 quid sounds like a bargain. But is that enough to make it worthwhile for it to happen? Webmaster, What figure were you thinking of?

Hey scoobynet E-bay..

 

Why not do 2 per year, maybe by subscription so you can offer a discount if you pay in advance for a years (or even 2) worth in advance.

Anyway count me in.

 

Need to look at the replication costs ... The problem, as always, is that people say they want it, you spend the money to have them cut, and then they dont want them.

Potentially I may work it on people send us a cheque, once we get say 50 cheques Ill have the CDs burnt. If not, then the cheques will be returned.

Webmaster

 

I'm in. Especially as I e-mailed you with this idea a while ago I'm sure you had already thought of it though.

 

Yup,

Count me in...I'll send you a cheque - drop me a line when you know how much you're planning on charging....

Cheers

To Webmaster if you are looking for design/cd replication/packaging, check out

 

Hi
can I just ask whether using a web page grabber such as nearsite or discopump would
suffice or are there advantages to using a CD instead.

 

Count me in...I'll have one. Sounds good to me.

 

hi

sounds a gr8 idea.

tenner sounds a damn good deal.

count me in when you sort it out......
