Funny as it is, it might even be the correct thing to do it when the
packaging is as weird and broken as it was this year. What was wrong
with the simple, elegant, and functional design of the packaging used
2002?

Let's make it a progressive download then, which would allow you to
view it at the quality of your choice, regardless of your connection
speed. Besides, if you save money by not getting a high speed Internet
connection, you can use some of it to pay for the DVDs.

Also, if they package the presentation slides with the streams, you
wouldn't really need DVD-Video quality in any case. The audio track
would be the most interesting part of the stream, and that can be
delivered to a modem user.
