- This is the case if you want to fill the thing to 640+ megs. A fine effort
- is done, but it's by no means necessary. It's perfectly possible to just
- put all the the stuff that would have gone onto the coverdisks onto the CD,
- even if it only fills to 3-5 megs. There are more than enough PC mags that
- do this and no-one complains (well, they wouldn't would they :-).
-
- I also thought that CD's cost less than floppies these days. Demo/Files CD
- cover mounts do not have to live in the excellent jewel cases that previous
- CU CD-Rom cover mounts were supplied in.
-
- Just a though. Anyone care to comment?
