> I also remember the CD-ROM era (and before that). It was also the time when software just worked. Except when it didn't. Keeping with the Encyclopedia theme, it was usual back then to buy an yearly book to update your paper encyclopedia; once we stopped buying these (the last one we have is from 2009), the vendor convinced us to buy a "Grande Barsa DVD" (version 6.0). It doesn't work at all unless you first download and install a small patch, which was easy to find back then but now seems to have disappeared from the web.
