- Even if the CD's contain no more "material" but instead just gave you the stuff
- un-compressed and ready-installed, it would be a big step up from having to
- hunt down 4 blank floppies and decompressing it all every time you get a new
- mag (a lot of coverdisks are supplied as DMS files, so you can't even
- decompress straight to HD).
