Much of the software on Sonata, eg. 1.0 and 2.0 stuff is of archival
importance. I suggest it should be copied onto a CD, and placed on
a jukebox CD drive. This would also make sure this software was safe
which is essential for those who for some reason run old systems.

Surely, all those CD collection publishers that got their stuff off 
Sonata could spring for a CD drive for the server? Some of my software
has got "freebied" by people from all over the place, including Canon Japan.

I am sure that Canon, would do the honorable thing if approached nicely -
after all they are using this as a marketing tool, and the Japanese
are notorious for going after long-term symbiotic relationships rather
than letting the goose which lays the golden eggs die of starvation.

Edmund.
