 BW#@> It's an idea...  How fast are ZIP and JAZ compared to CD's, though?
 BW#@> And will they hold as much data?

Well, we've already established that it wouldn't be economical, but...

No, the ZIP cart wouldn't hold nearly as much as a CD could (650 mb) -
but you typically don't need a whole lot of code to install software.
As a for instance, Microsoft's Windows95 only takes up about, what 50mb
of hdd space, so while it's uneconomical, it's feasible if you look at
it from a spacial perspective.

... OOOPS!  Gotta run.  Cat's caught in the printer again!
