Attention:
Not all the people who have a PC have a CD writer ! Don't forget that.
Also, don't forget the kids, there are still a lot of people who buy a pc for
their children to play games, but the parents aren't interested in the pc.

I share this opinion, and concerning the 'update', more and more people have
nowadays internet connection at home, so place a link to the LDRAW.ORG site
or / and LUGNET.com with goes straight to an 'update' page.
Anyhow, if you want to place as much as possible programs and .DAT /.MPD and
POV files on the CD, how much space will there be left to 'update' the
original CD-R ??
Also as mentioned in an other message, try to make the CD installing itself.
I do have a official CD-ROM with POV on it (The Internet Raytracing
Competition Year one 1996-1997) and there's a animated POV file on it (not
Lego related).
I installed the program once, but i can't work with it.
Conclusion : i removed it from my hard disc.
Ludo.
