Yes, we are still buying from Brad Glonka (and he is still with
Linux Central). Not only do we get a discount on the CD distributions,
Brad also gives us a discount on the "Giveaways" I usually get for each
meeting. Packaging it all together under one shipping charge is also
a "discount" of sorts. 

I did not count the money last month before I gave it to Chris,
however, all of the CD sales from the meeting last month was 
profit for the group. Of course, this was the "leftovers" from the June
Order and Chris used other resources for the giveaways.
 


On another note:

Chris Cox will be bringing the CDs for this month:

     RedHat 6.0
     RedHat Powertools
     OpenLinux 2.2
     Mandrake 6.0
     SuSE 6.1
     WordPerfect 8

Someone needs to volunteer to help him with sales. Unfortunately (from an
NTLUG perspective), I will still be in Evansville, IN, helping my daughter
get moved in to her Dorm at the University of Evansville.
