I've spoken to Derek about this and we believe that we do not have a disk
limit. We will double-check. I think we will offer both versions from now
on. I really like the way the High Def version looks on the 27" monitor.
As far as downloading it goes, so far, it's about 50/50 today HD vs.
normal res. Either way, if we can't keep both editions, I can delete the
HD one after the current month. We will offer both. Thanks guys for your
time.
