Heu yeah you could postage for 2$... and do you pay the develloper of
the offlinereader, the searchengine and others :)

You can do it by yourself? Even copyediting thousands of articles,
selects articles and others?

Well, I do understand the price is a little high, but it's not really
aimed to wikipedians, but, for exemple, to schools. The current
problem is Wikipedia is "live", with this cd, schools can have a free
encyclopedia for nearly nothing. And for exemple, families who wanna
have a "stable' version of an encyclopedia (it remains REALLY cheaper
than Britannica) etc...

The CD is really no use for a wikipediholic exept that if you're
really wikipediholic you should have this cd, just next to the wiki
bear, th wiki swatch, the wiki shirts...
