Default What will replace the CD?

More people now use high-speed connections than then,
but the speed of the connection has not improved much.


Cable modems have actually gone down in speed. When I
first got mine back in '98, it was wide open and 8-9Mbps
was not unusual at all. There was no upload cap. Files
weren't nearly as big as they are now, either. Now, CD
burning programs are 125 megs and require ****loads of
free drivespace.


Agreed. What changed is that high speed internet companies now *manage* the
bandwidth for consistent, economical performance.
