Anyone purchased this? Is it easy to use or are the files all hard to sort through? Has anyone used this on a Mac/Apple computer? What format are the files generally, PDF?

Are terms searchable over the entire CD-ROM or only in specific documents? (note, I realize that the CD-ROM itself contains no search engine, however, it may or may not be possible, depending on the CD permissions, to search via the “search” on a computer)

The value seems great, but, I’d like to get some experiential opinions before plunking down $.

Thanks!
 
I have it and I like it. I don’t know for sure if it runs on Windows 7, and I have found it a little confusing to open the files at first - but once I get the right one open, its simple.

edit: I’m trying it on Windows 7. I dragged a zip file from the CD-ROM to a new folder and extracted the files. You’ll need at least 450 megabytes free on your computer.
 
It is a really nice thing to have. I noticed that in the one I got there is at least a missing file from the references of the Early Fathers, and the file is available on the web site. I do not remember which file and if it is more than one.
 
Thank you for the replies so far.

If anyone has any knowledge on specifics regarding potentially missing files, please let us know which ones so we can download directly from the site.
