What about the application of education and instruction.  CD's offer
the potential for incredible instruction bases.  All the CAI software 
I've ever used was limited by the storage in the system.  With a CD and
a floppy for temporary storage such as an index to answer scores and
where the student wants to take breaks or even stop and restart, a very
comprehensive course could be put on one package that could have 
virtually unlimited branching possibilities.  The course could be randomized
somewhat, so that two or more students wouldn't even see the same questions.
I think that CD's are going to be the next big wave.  Granted, they won't be
for everyone, and I can't see any application that I would need one for, but
I really think they will take off in business and education applications.
