I just spoke to the DAP people at IBM Australia and apparently IBM plans to
put all their future beta programs onto CD-ROM only [bear in mind that the
DAP CD-ROM contains beta copies of the software concerned, or so I am
told].

DAP Australia are also looking into finding some competitive CD drive
prices. Apparently there are two suppliers with brand new, fastest yet,
drives which may be available through DAP here for around $700-$800 which
are supposed to retail around $1200-$1300. IBM doesn't believe they can
provide a competitively priced alternative themselves.
