Their COMPLETE set is "9 CDs of 700 MB ". Assuming that each CD is filled to the max, that yields 9x700 = 6.3 GB worth of data, which is less than the 7+ GB that is taken up on my hard disk by the truly complete 3/4/5 man EGTBs, which I downloaded from Hyatt's FTP. As a confirmation, the comprehensive review by Bob Pawalek at http://members.aol.com/_ht_a/rjpawlak/reviews/convekta_nalimov.html does not list all of the 5-man combinations. I wonder how many people have bought Convekta's 9 CD set thinking that it was complete when actually it is not. I plan to burn my 3/4/5 man EGTB collection onto CD and believe that a truly complete set would take 11 CDs. BTW, has anyone done this? If so, how did you split up the EBTBs to fit on as few CDs as possible?
