   Great idea.  I don't use that for computer CDs myself but they make =
sense.  Again, you can do what I do which is to place the packaging in = my 
closet or on a shelf.  For some products, like my video adapter, I = have no 
use to keep the CD handy so the box with everything is put away. =
 In the rare case I need it, I have it.  If I were to place my software =
CDs in a carrier of some form I would put the jewel case away where I = have 
the license, docs, and other stuff worth saving.

  I think David's idea's a good one.

  I tend to buy these multiCD Hard boxes (12 CD'es per Box) & then I =
call them
  things like "OS'es", "Site Tools", "Java Tools","Apps", "DB Stuff",
  "Backups-Data", "Backups-Code" stuff like that.

  So in "OS'es" I have a couple of copies of Win95 (Orig + release2), =
NT4S,
  NT4WS,OS/2WSEB, Win98, & numerous copies of Linux (SuSe, Mandrake, =
RH).

  In Apps I have 3 different copies of MS Office (the Access2 =
version,Office
  97, Office2K), StarOffice5.2, Lotus SmartSuite (various versions).

  The boxes are rock hard & stack better than lots of jewel cases. Also =
I then
  know where to look for an OS, a desktop app, a Java tool etc.
