- No it would be a good idea if enough customers would want it on CDROM. The
- cost of making a CDROM in quantity is MUCH smaller than making the same
- number of tapes. At work, we have Suns and DECStations and we get SunOS and
- Ultrix on CDROM. We produce our own CDROM of information for out clients
- that changes twice a year, the Fish Disk collections come out with data
- that is not static. CDROM's are cheap to make for the amount of space you
- get.
