Where are you located at?  Generally located which Town/State/Country?
I am in Elmira, New York, USA.

I may be able to pop a DVD in the snail-mail to you next week, if you 
are in the USA.
If not, it could take longer for one to get to you.

For specifics, email me at "webmaster@libreoffice-na.us"

One of the reasons for our DVD project is give the low bandwidth people 
a place to get a copy of a distribution DVD.  Hopefully, soon, we will 
have our DVD[s] available at a print-on-demand service, or at one of our 
sites, for those who need a physical disc.
