Go up one level in this thread


But I have a question: if the complete 3-4-5 set requires 11 CD-ROMs of 650 MB
apiece, how can it fit on only 9 CDs of 700 MB apiece?

Even if the last of the 11 CDs is only 1% full (i.e., 10.01 CDs-worth of 650 MB
apiece), that would still be more than 9 CDs of 700 MB.

Is this really the full set?
