Hi Katherine, If you're not on such a fast connection, the cool thing about getting your upgrades on the CD is that it comes with the latest daisy training materials, not just basic, but What's New, and any new daisy books that have come out for jaws. I think it is down to the dealer from where you bought JAWS from to send you a CD. Here in South Africa our dealer sends the CD's when the new version is released, and I think FS does send CD's, but you can just download the program if you want like everyone else says. Ari
