- Much of the software on Sonata, eg. 1.0 and 2.0 stuff is of archival
- importance. I suggest it should be copied onto a CD, and placed on
- a jukebox CD drive. This would also make sure this software was safe
- which is essential for those who for some reason run old systems.
-
- Surely, all those CD collection publishers that got their stuff off
- Sonata could spring for a CD drive for the server? Some of my software
- has got "freebied" by people from all over the place, including Canon Japan.
-
- I am sure that Canon, would do the honorable thing if approached nicely -
- after all they are using this as a marketing tool, and the Japanese
- are notorious for going after long-term symbiotic relationships rather
- than letting the goose which lays the golden eggs die of starvation.

- Edmund.
