I am sorry to say this, but you seem to have completely missed my point. The focus is not on the medium through games can be delivered, but the consideration that publishers ought to have these games available to readers of the book. Whether it be on the publisher's website or on floppy disks is not relevant. I made the argument about floppy disks to be taken in context with the whole, not individually. Of course, companies have the option of putting these games in their company website as others have the choice of including them on floppy disks. Gerard
