- The problem with a CD-ROM distribution is that in order to sell well
- customers actually needs to have these drives installed. As far as I can
- tell a good number of Amiga users own CD-ROM drives, but data is lacking
- how many CD-ROM drives are out there. As long as AT is not shipping machines
- with built-in CD-ROM drives I venture saying that there will be no CD-ROM
- distribution of the OS.
