I think that is a good idea, and while I haven't thought deeply about it, I certainly have always felt that Haiku R1 should be released in as professional a way as possible, with pressed CDs and manuals and the other stuff you mentioned. It is probably good to start planning all this now, so that it can be ready for the release. Of course right now there is no deadline and only a vague idea of when R1 will be released, but it doesn't hurt to plan ahead some. Also I think with modern technology it should not be that hard to get small runs of a box and manuals made, as well as other trinkets. The deeper problem is how to get them put together and shipped efficiently. I'm pretty sure I don't want to be putting boxes together and mailing a ton out from my house each day. -- Regards, Ryan
