Agreed.  Mitchell, Marvin, have you guys thought about the GS
community making its _own_ CD titles?  Remember the "Star Wars Demo"
that occupied an entire hard disk drive.  It was from Apple and they
used it to demo the GS.  I would love to see this large video clip,
as well as new ones, on a GS specific CD-ROM.

This is not impossible, you know.  CD-ROM burners are connected to
many Macintoshes out there and the GS can use the HFS filesystem. :)

Does anyone know where Apple put the Star Wars Demo?
