We have the same problem in Belize, that many computers don't have DVD
readers/writers. My suggestion: get one, at least, per school lab.
Bandwidth here is very expensive ... DVD players, even DVD recorders,
are very inexpensive. If you can put a DVD-RW in your best computer,
and use it as a server/workstation, then you can update all your other
computers from that one.
It is the people who have limited bandwidth who most need DVD access.
