In another reply, there is mention of Scott putting the catalogs on DVD
and thus reducing the number of CD's to one. Truthfully, I do not think
that will ever happen, Scott likes to make money. The ideal situation
will be Scott breaking the catalogs into geographic areas, as Stanley
Gibbons, Yvert and others do. I have contacted Scott about doing this
and their statement is that there are too many World-Wide collectors
and dealers that need the full set. I think it is a ridiculous reason.
If broken into areas you still have the option to buy a full set. I am
sure that the catalogs will eventually go to 7 volumes instead of the 6
now published. Regarding color, I believe I read somewhere that the
2006 catalogs will be in color.

Once more collectors own DVD readers rather than CD readers Scott will
gladly add DVD's to the electronic catalogs and make even more money.

Being that DVD's are standard now with any newer PC and the fact that a
CD holds ±700mb and a DVD holds 4.7gb, almost 7 times as much, it makes
sense they will do so very soon. A full set of Scotts on CD is a LOT of
CD's!
