Mine works fine.
I would have liked to see more demos, particularly walk-thrus instead of
sit-back-and-watch types. I like the idea of putting complete images
of the System software on it -- that's quite useful. The number of
technical questions in the Q/A section was disappointing; I hope the
real disc has much more. And finally, the audio dialogue wasn't as
corny as I thought it would have been.
But heck, can't beat the price!
