too lazy to look it up Consider this a shameless plug for a software toy called "VirtualDrive" which I found at Costco. I now have the whole Encarta thing.. Atlas, Dictionary, etc. 2 seconds away. So I actually use it. VirtualDrive cons Windows into thinking you have a dozen CD-ROM drives, but it's all really on a hard drive. No more digging out CD's just to look up a word. Or to play Sub Command :)
