I'll tell you why. Like millions of others who have to go on line
by modem, with costs here in Europe at about $1.00 per hour at cheapest,
at max 10MB/hour its going to take you ages, and cost you much more than a
good packaged CD set, to download 1 CD's worth of stuff.
Comparatively, CDs are cheap, very fast, and easy to go back to many
times. That's why we use them!
Best wishes,
Ted.
