Naw, Christopher, M$ already went down that path already. :) About 10-12 years ago, it used to take something like 40 floppy disks to install Word. Sometime between then and now they went to CD's. By the time the number of CD's increases to be of interstellar significance, there'll probably be another technology available to hide the bloat. -- "It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious" - A.
