Just talking to a hardware guy today. DVD's are now available at the retail level. Relatively quite expensive but it won't be long, I would think, before DVD writers are available too. And they should be able to handle the requirements.

Or you just tell the clients to buy a six GB disk drive and copy the CD's onto them one at a time.
