I must agree with the majority responding to the reason you feel it necessary to
send upgrades by expensive courier services for a CD. I think building update
notification into the software like most others have now is the answer. On the
other hand I think that more of us a capable of figuring out what upgrade patch
we actually need to download. The only people benefiting from sending out a CD
is the courier company. I must tell you I don't find this acceptable for me to
enrich the courier just to upgrade a flaw or bona fide improvement in the
software I spent hard earned after tax dollars for.
