More than one disc? Thanks. David Erbas-White Back to top Brion L.

Depends on what SKU you order for exact counts. My Architect box came with: 4 Compact Discs (per the numbering), BDS itself is on Disks 1 - 3. Disk 4 is things like Samples, Remote Debuggging, etc. The install never prompts for Disk 4. Actually, I chose not to install Component 1, so it may be on there too. 1 Partner DVD 2 StarTeam Compact Discs 1 MS SQL Server 2000 Developer release A Compact Disc -- -Brion There's no such thing as 'one, true way;' - Mercedes Lackey Back to top David Perkins Guest Posted: Fri Dec 16, 2005 5:41 pm    Post subject: Re: Question on BDS media David Erbas-White wrote: Quote: Does the new BDS come on CD, or DVD?

Ahhh, partner up with some one like Lite-On or Plexstor. Offer BDS and include a DVD reader for a nominal charge! Microsoft started doing that early. Back in another time... you could get a CD-ROM drive for only $1200 when purchasing Microsoft C. -- -Michael Gillen Back to top John Kaster (Borland) Guest Posted: Wed Dec 28, 2005 1:03 am    Post subject: Re: Question on BDS media Michael Gillen wrote: Quote: Ahhh, partner up with some one like Lite-On or Plexstor.

Actually, I can't imagine a programmer who doesn't at least have one machine with a DVD player nowadays. We are not talking about normal customers of shrinkwrap software, we are talking about people who write software. Or you could have both in the same box: 1 DVD and x CDs, containing the same, but the DVD being more convenient: no one has to play the DJ. -- Rudy.Velthuis {TeamB} http://velthuis.homepage.t-online.de/ "Programming is one of the most difficult branches of applied mathematics; the poorer mathematicians had better remain pure mathematicians." -- Edsger Dijkstra Back to top John Kaster (Borland) Guest Posted: Wed Dec 28, 2005 6:15 am    Post subject: Re: Question on BDS media Alex Bakaev [TeamB] wrote: Quote: Now that's got to be the worst post you ever wrote, John Poor proofreading. -- John Kaster http://blogs.borland.com/johnk Features and bugs: http://qc.borland.com Get source: http://cc.borland.com If it's not here, it's not happening: http://ec.borland.com Back to top Alex Bakaev [TeamB] Guest Posted: Wed Dec 28, 2005 7:14 am    Post subject: Re: Question on BDS media John Kaster (Borland) wrote: Quote: I'm don't attempt to dicate new terms to our customers ;) Now that's got to be the worst post you ever wrote, John :) ..a Back to top Roddy Pratt Guest Posted: Wed Dec 28, 2005 9:48 am    Post subject: Re: Question on BDS media "John Kaster (Borland)" <johnk (AT) borland (DOT) com> wrote Quote: I'm don't attempt to dicate new terms to our customers Well, I think you already do- not that I have a problem with it. Delphi "installation requirements" (which are the "terms" here) have changed significantly over the years (memory, disk space, OS, CPU). And, was it originally available on floppy? Anyway, you're already shipping dual-media packages: Putting a second copy of the install on Delphi install set on the DVD would help you fill it up... - Roddy Borl: We've got a great new version of Delphi out! Customer: cool. Borl: But, you'll have to upgrade from Win95 to XP Customer: no problem! Borl: ...and, you really ought to rewrite all your software to run under ..NET Customer: Looking forward to it - it'll help me justify my budget for next year! Borl: And replace all those ageing 486's with state-of-the art processors packed with memory for optimal performance Customer: Easy - we'll just swap the R&D machines with Marketing Borl:... and you'll need one $20 DVD drive on your site to deploy the software.
