At the Dept of National Defense, where I work, the flavour of the moment is
DVD's.

MS is shipping technet and MSDN subscriptions on it - last month they
replaced 7 CD's with 1 DVD.

>I think you may be a little off on that comment. In 20 years CD will
probably have been replaced by something smaller that holds more info and
then go the way of vinyl (or 10" floppy disks. Show either one on to one of
today's youth and see what kind of looks you get).
