How about temporarily purging some of the earlier disks to make room for the 
new ones? I don't think anyone would miss disks 1-20 since (a) Most of us
have them by now, (b) Most of the programs have been updated on subsequent
disks, and (c) those that haven't probably aren't that stable on anything later
than 1.1. Maybe they could put disks 1-30 or so on magnetic tape and use the 
space for the new ones..

Yes, it is a great service they provide. And don't forget they're also the 
guys that brought us PDC in its present form..
