>>the base price of the DVD edition double. I must have misread a price somewhere. I don't recall double. My impression is it's the price of the so-called Ultimate Reference Set (which is what I bought). I haven't cracked the 99. The 98 (without dictionary and atlas) is three cds. One is a setup Cd which installs some indexes that are essential; the other two have some repitition to avoid swapping CDs during a search (fairly clever implementation, actually). Upshot is, though, that if you put them on your hard drive you can eliminate the duplication. I think it totals out to a bit over a gigabyte. The 99 edition is supposed to have more multimedia. I'll check it out in the next few weeks, though I have to truck off on a business trip in about 10 days and may not get to it. However, I'm interestd myself, so will try to.
