    cd rom is standard to most people

    you would be surprised by amount of people who doesnt understand USB keys

    Also, most corp does not even let you use USB since data can copied

    since they are pdf (which maybe big) and they are in CD (which people are most familiar with) I think it works to the lowest common denominator.

    having a web download makes sense but what if you dont have access at the moment.

    i am coming from experience where, 1) presentation was on the web but client site had no external internet access, 2) backup USB key got corrupted 3) presentation in laptop but laptop died, 4) clients computer does not accept USB keys

    since USB key is considered as a HD, a lot of the corp system does not let you install HD on your machine

    Conclusion
    CD is the lowest you can go in terms of information distribution and delivery.

    BUT
    if they ask you make a business card CD rom, shoot them
