Of course they did (do).  That's why Hard disks are so popular.  Or to put it
in a way that is more to the point, that's why high density disks are so 
popular.

This is a good anology.  I want to extract ROMs for the same reason that I have
put a bunch of utilities from different companies on a single disk.  That way
they are all available at the same time.  I have brought all of the utilities,
and it is nice to have them all in on place.
