Are you serious ????  Do you mean that you would not be interested in larger
opening books, bigger game database, more engines, better more elaborate help
files ????  I think Chessbase should be applauded for using DVD.  You can get a
DVD player for around $20, and a DVD recorder for around $40.  If you don't have
one, it is a good excuse to get one.  Personally, I love my DVD recorder.  I
recentely got a dual layer DVD recorder (I guess DL is standard today) and I
managed to get almost 15 CD's worth of stuff on it.

Never discourage advances in technology.  Otherwise we would be all still be
using 5.25 inch floppies with 320K of data.
