I agree completely with this reply. Once there is a CD-ROM writer in place
there will be multiple uses crop up for it.

Suggestion to Mark. You spoke of putting copies of originals of
out-of-copyright works on sneezy. Well, I would love to get copies of the
urtext on CD rom of the classics! Ahh Mozart, Brahms, Weber and so on.
