book WORM

[STEVE HOOLEY]

                        More to the point, not everyone has access to a WORM
drive (Write once, read many) to make their own CDs. Henderson is a big
place but we don't have one yet (*sigh*).
                        We do the CAVEAT EMPTOR thing and warn them about
viruses when we have to get a disk/book combo.
