I think that question originated with me asking how many CDs would you
want?  I was going to get a spindle of 50 to start with.  Labels and
plastic sleeves too.  I did consider jewel cases, but now think that's
OTT.

A dipping hands in pockets session would be appreciated.

Sounds like a good figure for the CDs too Bob.  If you're willing to pop
in regularly then this would be a better approach as I can see a pile of
CDs dissappearing very swiftly.

Good idea Bob.  Before we go for an installfest would a couple of
bring-a-box days be a good intermediate step.  I was thinking of
something at Scalby School with the first one just for those already on
the list to try stuff out etc. and a publicised one later when we feel
more confidant. ;)  Maybe saying on the library stand that we intend to
hold a bring-a-box day in the future and to keep an eye on the web site
for details.

Toodle pip,

Al
