do you think 500 people will buy a cd? how many people are into
compiling huge programs like emacs?

well, i won't take the risk of ending up with 500 out-of-date
cd's plus a $3200 debt. even if it were only half as expensive,
i'd rather buy another hard disk in the first place. as you
might have guessed i don't even have that amount of money.
