I would be truly amazed if this "wonder CD-ROM" - at a mere $70.00, is
worth a tenth of that price - if even that. You are far more likely to get
infinitely more benefit, spending $70.00 (or, better still $0.00) learning
to use the Internet to its maximum advantage. The advertising
blurb/ballyhoo on the Internet that accompanied the initial "debut" of this
CD-ROM went so far as to (purportedly) quote some 3rd. year law student,
from goodness-knows-where, as stating that now he's bought the disk he no
longer makes trips to the Law Library !! Well bully for him. What a
remarkably stupid student :-))
