Cost in the neighborhood of optical drives. Point being that one doesn't need a huge hard drive -- just read from one CD and copy onto another. I don't foresee CD technology having any effect on the amount of piracy which takes place or the inclination of publishers towards copy protection. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff Van Epps amusing!lordbah@bisco.kodak.com lordbah@cup.portal.com sun!portal!cup.portal.com!lordbah
