I have had to use my Fritz 6 CD a grand total of one time - when I installed the
program onto my computer :P

I agree though that the prevalence of CD burners makes CD checking a bit silly..
I personally have a CD burner on my own computer! ;)

Heh, I know you won't like this, but you _could_ by one of those nifty 5 CD
changer drives which will let you have 5 CDs in it at once.. I'm sure you could
find another use for it besides ChessBase CDs :P
