Actually the issue is partly piracy, and partly file size issues for 
a different project.  I do have projects on the table that will be 
big enough that it would be ridiculous for folks to download them. 
Hence, a CD will be necessary.

Where they might install the program on their HD, the huge files it 
will need would be stored on the CD.
