I also have a high bandwidth connection. I gave my 2.2.2 CDs to a friend. I really don't care if I ever see them again. There is really nothing on the CDs that is not on the net. For the paranoid, CDs do lend and added measure of security. The sources on them can't be modified. Also, if something really bad happens (e.g. the network explodes) you can still install new software.
