Yes! That would be great,
But, and this is an important but,
don't go the way apple-macintosh CD's went.

Whole CD's are packed with the greatest bu@@s@@t ever.
Let's hope that that will not happen. Maybe we need to
make a Billboard top 100 software programs CD, where only the best
PD and SHAREWARE software will be found.
For example: on the MAC-CDROM from EDUCORP are over 25 communications-programs,
2 of them could do XMODEM, none could do ZMODEM.
Why not just 5 com-programs, all of which are good!

Yes, I am for a FISHCD, but only if it is the best!
