[Hans Zoebelein <zocki@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi emacspeak subscriber,

Blinux project which deals with blind support for Linux is proud 
to offer the Blinux CD-ROM, a daily up to date mirror of the
Blinux FTP site. 

This CD-ROM also contains a mirror of Mr. Raman's EMACSPEAK directory

Blinux CD-ROM is genuine hand made,  roasted piece by piece on a 
Linux box using cdrecord-1.6a9 software and a TEAC-R55S CD-ROM burner.
Prize of the Blinux CD-ROM is calculated to cover hardware costs and
postage.

For further info please read the forwarded announcement.
If there should be any questions, feel free to contact me. 


Enjoy!
Hans

If I get stuff cheaper (CD-ROMS, envelopes) prices will go

Put the money as bank notes in an envelope between a leaf of
paper and send it to me.  
My address is:

Germany

Don't forget to include your email and snail mail address.  
I'll email you as soon as money has arrived and the CD-ROM is
shipped to your snail mail address.


How is Blinux CD-ROM shipped?  
Blinux CD-ROM is shipped to non Europe addresses by airmail, 
to Europe addresses as normal mail. The CD-ROM is
put into a padded cardboard envelope without using a jewel box. 
This is done to stay below the 50gr weight limit and to pay
less postage costs.

Enjoy!
