Well, some people are on dial up, and would rather get a disc. But still. $10 + $4 shipping is a big rip off just for a burned CD.
Acceptance of Zen philosophy is marred slightly by the nagging thought that if all things are interconnected, then all things must be in some way involved with Pauly Shore.

i think that he isnt even selling cds!  he says:
"YOU ARE PURCHASING INFORMATION ON HOW TO RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING SUPPORT FILES  FOR YOUR MAME FRONTENDS AND EMULATORS!"
he isnt saying "you are purchasing the following support files" so you buy it and all he does is send you web addresses?  or maybe he does send you a cd but with instructions and weblinks?  what a jerk

I think he is selling a real CD (according to his feedback). But still, that should be like $1.99 item, at the most.
