It may be useful to request a DVD drive when it's time to upgrade
your computer....
This may be an idea for distributing the CTPP 2000, since in the last
go-around (in 1990) the CTPP/urban element comprised about 33 CDs;
and the CTPP/statewide element was another 12 CDs!! (How many DVDs
are the equivalent of 45 CDs?)

"DVD
The Census Bureau will release some of its TIGER/LINE and Census 2000
geographic and data products on DVD. This will save customers money
in the purchase of Census Bureau products; however, it will require
computers equipped with a DVD reader."
