Maybe $3.50 per disk, with $10 for the whole set of 3.
If it gets more than 3 disks then possibly $12 for the set of 4.

The distribution at Comp-USA is 59.95 (I think) so it will be much less 
than the distro. I could print some labels ahead of time for the CDs so 
they would look a little more professional.

Time involved is getting to be very little as well,  5 - 10 minutes per 
CD including burning and applying label. Maybe less with the 32X CDRs 
now available. (it takes me about 5 min to burn 640mb at 16X)
