This is NeXT-software-distribution in view mode; [Up]

Since the machine has an optical read/write mechanism, can't it be configured to read CD-ROM discs? Since they cost <$5.00 bucks(well, reasonable quantities) to mass produce, that should solve the price problem. Of course, with mega-bytes of space left over, the publisher/developer could put in 24-bit antialiased copies of their manuals on it. Of course, small-time people like us wouldn't be able to distribute our programs through this media because of prohibitive cd-mastering costs, but at least significant commercial software could be made available cheaply.
