You know that CD-ROMs are getting cheap when you get junk mail with one!
That's right -- Discovery Systems sent me a demo CD of their new service,
completely unasked for (I don't even own a CD-ROM drive).  

They want something like $10/month for a monthly CD-ROM with the latest
Mac shareware/freeware etc.  I haven't looked at the disk to see if it is
useful info, but it certainly is cheap.
