It is interesting to note that NeXT uses a CD-ROM based distribution
of their software internally.  Talk to you local NeXT, Inc. Tech
support folks and ask them how they reload software on a busted 105 MB
disk in a slab.

They don't use floppies.

We just have to convince them to take what they already have (CD-ROM
software distributions, good generic UNIX platform, etc) and market it
to the folks that want it.
