I have had the ultra plus pack in recent years, and if I upgrade again, I will probably get that again.

From a quick glance at the order page online, it looks like the only way to get it is in the form of a portable hard drive, same as the last couple of years.

However, it would be nice to have a "Download Only" option (for all of the packages). With Ultra Plus, that would save a lot of expense, of your buying for each of us a portable hard drive, loading everyting onto it, and shipping it. It would save you a lot of cost per user, which you could pass on to us, making the cost of the upgrade considerably cheaper, as well as being better for the environment.

Much software is available these days as "download only".


I can guess the response to that--the ultra plus pack, more than 100GB, would be an awful lot to download! Yes, it would be, but internet speeds are much faster than before. Also, there is no reason that most folks would need to download all of it at once. They would download the program, perhaps a couple of the RealTracks that most interest them, and little by little, over time, download more. Or perhaps only download more when they need an additional RT that they have not yet downloaded.

And of course, still provide the HDD option, and a DVD option as well, so people can buy whichever option they wish. (Of coures, different price for each option--HDD most expensive, download only least expensive.)

Would that be possible, for you to create a Download Only Option, at a lesser cost, for each package?

Thank you.
