They evidently did, in this months devleoper packet, 
along with the Excellent CD, came an offer for a pretty 
good price on the CD SC. Aditionally, it would be pretty 
difficult (read costly) for Apple to distribute 100+ 
floppies.  100 floppies is not even close to enough space
to handle the capacity of one CD. 

It is regrettable, but how else to distribute the amount
of data in a cost effective manner? 

Me, my CD is on order                                   ;^)
