Good idea! Animations done with LDraw and POV-Ray SHOULD be included if we
can collect them all.

I really don't see how this is much different than a link on the CD pointing
to official updates. As long as it clear that parts and models databases are
continually growing, people can download them themselves. They'll have to
download updates anyways to update the CD. And if the CD includes HTML pages,
they'll only include info about items included on the CD originally.

Though that may be so, the general public might not see it that way.
The Jessiman family also said in an email to me that they feel a
professionally done CD-ROM would be the way to go.
