An interesting tidbit on the OS X page, Tiger is DVD only, with CDs available for $9.95 extra. It's about time some major software pushes DVD. It's a format 7 years old, and still so much software ships on multiple CDs instead of one DVD.

It is great as it cuts the number of disks down to a manageable 20 rather than 67 ! It is a pain in the arse however when I turn up somewhere with the MSDN disks without my laptop, to find that all the machines have CD drives rather than DVD drives... _________________________ Remind me to change my signature to something more interesting someday

I always enjoy flipping though MSDN discs trying to find the right disk - "ahh, here it is" shortly followed by "bugger, nope, it's the uzbekistan edition!" I should have waited when I bought the powerbook, but I coulnd't resist!
