Those with NAV that would like discs other than those above:

burnurass
teksurv

If anyone else would like a set or can contribute, please don't hesitate to post here.

The first way this will work is that I will collect all the discs (or whomever wants to be number 1), burn copies of all the discs needed and send them to 2 or 3 folks. They can then burn copies for 2 or 3 more folks, and so on. If we only have 10 or fewer people, I will send copies to 2 folks, they can send copies to 2 folks, and those 4 people can send copies to 1 person each if need be. It is kind of like a pyramid scheme where you really do win in the end and everyone helps everyone else! This way, everyone uses only a few CDs and only about $5 - $10 (maybe $20 if you have to send 3 sets of 9 but I doubt it) worth of postage / CDs. Yes, the last people on the list don't have to do anything BUT they have to wait the longest... And yes, this is an honor system sort of thing where you have to do your part since the next person on the list is trusting you to send their copies. Not a bad trade if you ask me for $1200+ worth of "back-up" discs even if you have to pay for a few discs and postage!

The second way this will work is that those with the latest versions of the CDs will send a copy to everyone else. This might work the best assuming we have only a few people involved but may cost the most in terms of postage since they will be sending only 1 disc at a time to several different addresses. Plus, if you have a PO Box, this might make for 8 or 9 trips to the post office to pick up discs...

But, we can work ALL of this out via PM or even here. If you have a better idea or modification, post that here or PM me. These are just the ways I've seen this sort of time work before (not for Nav software but other "back-ups").
