I'm not bitter; it was a genuine question given the recent thread about making a DVD. Does yahoo buy one/several CDs and install on all their desktops or do they pay $50 per desktop. How many desktops do they have? As for the next time the project needs $10,000, I thought that it could always use $10,000. A release is made every 6 months. How much does each release cycle cost including keeping the lights on, bandwidth and hardware running, new equipment to test out new drivers, etc? Doug.
