Steve-
A copy of the CD can probably be burned. Given the amount of 'stuff' in 
there, it may take most of the CD's capacity.
(Well, a 1 GB thumb drive would do it!)

The issue really is- some of the software and media formats won't run on 
the latest and greatest. The real question is, 'what's the easiest and/or 
best way to have continued access to this information". That's why the 
VMware suggestion or the 'old/cheap machine'.

Another devious techno-trick I'm thinking of here-

A DVD might have enough room for a 'live' Linux distro, plus the VMplayer, 
plus the target CD, all in one self-booting package.
Seems kinda 'twisted', but might just work!
(old MultiMedia CD running on Win 98 inside of a VM inside of Linux 
running as a temporary/guest OS on someone's computer...)

(do I sound like a 'Geek' yet?)

cheers
