I think that we should in fact have a "SXCE now only available on CD by 
special request; and will be snail-mailed" flag-day. That way, you would 
get an idea of how many are still downloading the CD version, and thus 
whether it can be dropped completely. I realize that it means shipping 
out wads of CD's, and the cost of that, but I guess that you will ship 
maybe 5 sets per annum. Either that, or ship them a DVD, a 20 dollar DVD 
drive, and a screwdriver ;-)

Regards... Sean.
