It IS very reasonable, unfortunately I just ordered a couple from
Cheapbytes in the USA. Not only will they take 2 weeks to get here,
it's going to cost me about $12 in the end too.
I have a burner here but couldn't work out how to actually download
the image -- unfortunately I'm a mere undergrad and don't have sufficient
disk space on any server at uni, nor a good way to get the image
to my own PC, and this machine (rising.com.au) is paying for bandwidth.
Perhaps I will give you a yell when hamm is out for real.
