[Bug-gnubg] Promoting gnubg

[Christopher D. Yep]

There are probably a substantial number of backgammon players who have 
never heard of gnubg or who are intimidated of downloading/installing files 
over the Internet.  Has anyone thought of producing gnubg CDs (a full 
installation + manual) to give (actually sell at $1-2 each, i.e. cost only, 
no profit) to backgammon distributors around the world (e.g. Gammon Press, 
Carol Joy Cole, Backgammon Shop, etc.)?  Would this be useful?

For this idea to work the distributor would have to be willing to sell the 
CD for $1-2 + shipping (no profit to the distributor).  Unfortunately I 
guess it's doubtful that any distributor would be willing to do this (for 
no profit).  Alternatively if a customer buys a lot of goods the 
distributor might include a free gnubg CD with the order as a reward to its 
loyal customer (in this case the distributor bears the full cost [$1-2] of 
the CD).
