I'd LOVE to be able to give these CD's to people for free.  Unfortunately, I
can't do that.  I'd be broke if I did.  Shipping to the US from Canada is a bit
pricey, and the price of CD's just shot way up.  Any profit I make is going
straight towards a shiny new Complete Edition copy of Eu.

I'm offering this as a convenience to the Eu community.  I'm hoping to have
everything installed and ready to go, with as little effort on the users part as
possible.

Please, continue, I need all the input I can get, positive, negative, and
otherwise!
