True, but the one problem with this (that I have experience of) is that
said CD is out of date. When PFS3 scrambled my Work: partition, I had the
CD with Photogencis on. However, it was out of date - I still had to
download the updates.

I admit that this is all well and good. However, will there be regular
revisions on AACDs like this? Because as soon as another version of MDII
or V��is released, that cover CD is out of date and we're back to square
one, which we're currently at due to the NC3 CD being out of date ...
