I've also installed both CD's to my hard drive (a single 60Gig hard drive)
after doing the initial install, updating with the latest download file, and
then doing the full install. So far everything works like a charm. I have
accessed my USNO-A2.0 CD's with no problems and have also accessed
the A2.0 from the internet and everything matches!

So far I love it!

We've been notified by Building Security that there
have been 4 suspected terrorists working at our office.
Three of the four have been apprehended. Bin Sleepin,
Bin Loafin, and Bin Drinkin have been taken into
custody. Security advised us that they could find no
one fitting the description of the fourth cell member,
Bin Workin, in our office.
