With the promised release of a CD-ROM reader for the cube (as well as 
3rd party drives) are there any plans to release NeXT system software
on CD-ROMS? This would seem an ideal medium as an option. I asked
my local NeXT SE who claims that there would be copyright problems.
I'm not clear what the differences would be between releasing software
on a stack of floppies (current policy) and a CD-ROM disk.
I'd be curious to any reactions from NeXT.com and the net in general.
The direction that I'm coming from is that my anticipated machine will be 
a stand-alone. I would like an uncorruptible back-up for the system.
