Correct, $20.00 (Or was it $15.00) for the cost of shipping and handling.  You 
can ask any Apple Store to help you make this process happen. Before the Apple 
Store, I spent many hours on the phone trying to get replacement CD's as some 
simply stopped booting over time.  Now it is simple, walk into the store, and 
more often than not, they don't want to deal with the hassle of locating the 
paperwork and forms, and maybe don't have the experience to know how to even 
manage the sale.  I have been handed a copy of a disc from behind the counter 
and asked "will this work for you?", in which case I'm on my way.

The only trouble is, if you are after the Apple HardWare Test/Apple Diagnostic 
Tools, it CAN'T be a retail installer disc, it has to be the correctly keyed 
disc for that hardware, which can be a bit of trouble to find.  Those tools 
don't exist on the retail version installers.
