[CLUE-Admin] Fwd: On the Installfest

[Crawford Rainwater]

On the donation idea, perhaps a "donation tax"
for the projector as an option?  Figure $0.25 to
$0.50 per CD as a thought.  I am open to adding
that as well to the base cost price for the CDs,
and ITEC can again handle the sales tax issue
(tax the CDs, not the donations for reference).
