I'll add my 2 cents' worth to the discussion: I think that we should
climb out of whatever ruts we're in due to what's been done in the
past.  These removable disks _can_ be a viable medium for distribution
of s/w.  For instance, a vendor can simply include a SASE in the
package for the user to send the disk back for some sort of refund if
(s)he doesn't need an extra disk at the time.  Or the user can keep
the disk.

Second, the size of the thing opens the door for distribution of
really amazingly huge pieces of software, such as your typical CD-ROM
product, or something *less static*, like, I don't know, a large,
extensible, hypertext system.  Or an encyclopedia for which you
receive monthly updates over the phone with your (I love this) 9600
baud modem *emulator*.

Besides, the $50 price is sure to come down; I can now get a box of
10 3-1/2" disks for $14 CDN.  Compare that to the $70-ish prices of
three years ago.
