So I got your attention with the title, huh? ;) Ignore it - I'm talking about similar attitude today, though - Internet access speed and how it changes our habits.
If you are a MSDN (Universal) subscriber, you know how much space the quarterly shipment takes. After Microsoft started giving discounts to companies that switched to DVD media only this became less of a problem, but it still is hard to find what you're looking for among all those platforms and languages.
ADSL2+ is becoming a reality, and it is soon coming in my area too. We're talking about speeds of up to 25Mb/s if you are close enough to the telecom equipment. It is understood that the price I pay now (29.99€) stays, and that it means unlimited download.
All this means that it is a lot faster for me to go online and download anything from Microsoft MSDN Subscriber site, than to sift through a pile of CD/DVD media. I stopped backing up various applications that I buy as well - takes me more time to catalog where it is, than to simply go online and download.
