I remember there used to be collections of CD's folks would buy with TONS 
of shareware, but is this even practical anymore?  The files I enjoy 
downloading are like the Nasa/astronomy photos, newsletters/text files, etc 
from board, not shareware.  How often does someone download 5-10+ year old 
shareware anymore?  

Just curious --
