A short while back, I thought I read on here that HP was moving 
away from updates on CD-ROM.  As one of those who got "stuck" 
with a CD-ROM when our new systems were ordered just over a 
year ago, I was considering removing the CD-ROM drive and 
replacing it with another DAT drive.

Just a shorter while ago, we had our DAT drive replaced by 
HP and I mentioned to the service engineer my plans to replace 
the CD-ROM with another DAT.  He told me that HP was going to 
move to a CD-only update format!

So which is it?  Is the CD-ROM drive useless or useful?  What 
are HP's plans for updates via CD-ROM?
