They're cheaper to Again, let me suggest that a periodic release set which has the archive of all the presently supported versions would be easier to sell to management. It is similar to the monthly developer CD's that I get from some major vendors. However, to help retail sales, they should hype the latest release which is included. I feel that it is important for there to be a structured program which provides on CD a definitive archive of all the source which "belongs" in each active released system. I do not feel that it is appropriate to mix this archive with the extremely transient material which makes up a "SNAP".
