   I was wondering if it shouldn t be a good idea for NeXT to deliver their
   full  OS release (extensions included) thru a CD ROM disk, as an "option".

   Apple is doing this sort of things, and i supposed this is a lot shipper
   and safer than having all the os on floppy disks (i don teven talk of the
   benefits in time to load the os, nor the practical aspect of having only one
   disk).

   I am not aware of such "proposition" from NeXT yet.am i wrong ?

I expect that something more will come out once NeXT gets their CD ROM
drive shipping.  At this point, I think it would be premature to announce
a CD ROM OS product, because so many people would want it (like myself).
