  22. it's amazing how many people don't read the rest of the thread in
  23. search of the answer that's already been posted.
  24.  
  25. IBM will give the CSD away free via electronic means.  Meaning you can
  26. download it (for your local phone/network charges, if any), or you can
  27. brind blank disks to a dealer and have him/her make a copy for you.
  28. If you want IBM to mail you disks, you'll pay a small fee for media
  29. and shipping.
