15 quid to burn a CDR? Tell ou what, i'll burn some for you for only a few
quid each! ;-)

with an 8x writer, and a software app of only 20Mb in size, you can do over
a dozen copies an hour. tedious, but very cheap.

I believe this thread wasnt about dropping all media support, but whether
people wouldnt mind their software to arrive on a CDR instead of
mass-printed CD media. I'm happy just to get the software!!!!
