        The contact info for ordering it on CD's as replacement for the DVD's is on the inside tab of the Vista plastic case...
        You will need to authenticate it over the phone and give a credit card # for the shipping costs...

        Ah HA!

        see it's a good thing I try to qualify stuff I say with "as far as I know" or an equivalent  :D

        Anyway, continuing down this road, there should be a floppy disk version...
