I'm a subscriber to CGS+ magazine and I'm glad that BK3K is going to be on the
CD... not because I want BK3K, but because it gives me the choice to.  I
really doubt that the amount of space on the CD that BC3K took bumped any
other programs, so I applaud CGS+ for putting this and other things on their
disk.  In fact, good for you, Derek Smart for getting BC3K on the CD because I
would never take the time to download a huge file through my phone line,
especially something that has received so much negative press.

I'm waiting for Descent: Freespace to be on the CDs since I won't even
download that through my phone... and that's a worthy game.

To CGS+, please keep loading up your CD's with demos, patches (repeat the
patches over and over), web add-ons, whatever.  Part of the reason I subscribe
WITH the CD is for the simplicity of having all the programs archived on the
easy to store CDs... which don't require HD space when archived.
