	I would love to buy such a CD-ROM!!

	I don't have a CD-ROM drive yet, but if such a CD-ROM comes out, 
then it's enough incentive to get the drive; and I can also clear my hard 
disk of all the stuff. :)

	Anything!  All I want is for such a CD-ROM to become a reality!  
OK, serious, I would want most (all, if possible) files to be executable 
from the CD-ROM itself, without the need to copy them over to a hard disk 
in order to run them.  I know the French 3.5" disk demos are not 
launchable but for other applications, _please_ make sure they are 
launchable and not just some file/disk archives.
