[Vwdiesel] CD Bentley

[Val Christian]

Nope.  I am thinking of the product which installs on the computer
and does not need internet access.  I have had to update mine twice,
paying for the reader update.  Also, as harddrives got swapped out on my 
computer (un predicted HD failures), I had to "re-install".  One is only
allwed on reinstall per license.  So the next time, I have to buy the
package again.
