My impression was that the CD-Rom is extra if you want it with your subscription
the $30 only got you the magazine.  I'll check but I think that is the case.
Anyway, why would I want a CD-Rom disk,  is that the only way Apple can get
people to buy the CD-Rom drives.  I rather have the source code on 
diskettes so that the other 99% of the Us can use the source code.
