Yes, I suspect that this need will be very variable, geographically.

</I>Something apparently for nothing is always attractive to many, but the
eco lobby is becoming increasingly important. I'm not advocating
dropping the media disks for now, just being aware that the situation
needs to be watched for the future.
Irrelevant to this discussion, but I feel increasingly guilty about
disposing of frequent "bumper *buntu distro" disks. Since I subscribe
the several magazines they have been coming in threes. That's a lot
of disks in a year.
