Assuming I might have a decent internet connection, a disc burner and
spare blank media I might consider helping out.
However, this particular request feels too much like someone just
wanting to take advantage of some freebie ("hey, I heard you give out
stuff for free so I want some"), as opposed to someone in real need
(hey, internet here is slow and/or metered, media burners are nowhere to
be found, etc., could someone help out?").
Kind regards,
Andrei
