    Brainwashed, huh.

    Here's how you distribute programs on CDs:
    - Get app ready
    - Make gold master disc
    - Mass-produce discs
    - Mass-produce the packaging and manuals
    - Ship giant palettes to retailers
    - Retailers sells each piece one-by-one, while paying for inventory costs and passing them down to the consumer.
    - Optional: Another shipment, if buying online
    - User gets package after driving to store or waiting for the fucking UPS driver to come (they said it was out for delivery dammit)
    - User discard CD after 10 years. Hope it doesn't pollute too much.

    Direct Download:
    - Get app ready
    - Put on server
    - Have people download the app
