You will be in the same situation as all netbooks, which have no optical
drive. Installing from the download should work fine! I personally almost
never install from CD due to my physical disabilities. If the physical
media is important to you, perhaps an USB external DVD drive would work on
your old computer. However, since your computer is that old, it probably
only supports USB 1.1. I would expect it to work but the transfers may be
slower. I do not know how much that would affect DVD performance.

Hilbert,
The short answer is no. If it is coming out on DVD and you only have a
CDRW drive, then your computer isn't capable of reading DVD's. I would
call sales about this and ask if there is a way you can get the software
on CD. If they say there isn't a way to do that, then you could copy the
downloaded version to a CD. I hope they will be able to make accommodation
for you. My guess is that there will be many people calling with the same
complaint.

Thanks Erin,
However, since my computer is about 7 years old, it only has a cd, cdrw
drive on it. if it's being released on dvd, will I still be able to
install it on this old computer?

When I purchased the upgrade on Monday, the sales rep said that FS would
be printing the CD's either this week or next week. So we should be
getting them within the next couple of weeks or so. ...
