I agree. CDs in a paper sleeve are very cheap, even in small quantities. Anything we can do to lower the barriers to entry is a good move. Plopping a CD/DVD in the drive is less effort than downloading a couple of gig of data and burning disk(s), so looky-loos will be less disinclined to try it. -- Rich Teer, SCNA, SCSA, OpenSolaris CAB member President, Rite Online Inc.
