But I think I do indeed understand. From what I gather, some are paying $30
for the program. That's far more than the postage and the few minutes it
takes to mail it.... OR the disc itself.
It's only useful for those who cannot get online. However, these whom I've
heard, apparently have internet access. So they pay $30 or $40 for
something they can get free.
In a package on a new system, or on a disc in a store for those who don't
have internet (and no friend with the internet), yes, it's a great idea.
But when one is paying for something they can get free.... not frugal.

Not entirely. For those who cannot download OpenOffice, having it on a
CD provides some value.
I have no problem with those who sell a CD at a nominal amount. What
bugs me are those who charge for nothing more than a download link or
point to us as "paid support".
