bentley manual on CD

[Matt Evans]

If you are using a server sku of windows 2000 (or later), or windows xp, you
can install the Bently software on one machine and then use it via terminal
server (aka RDP or "Remote Desktop") from any machine.

This is precisely what I do.  I have a machine setup with daemontools
(emulates physical cdrom drives) that hosts my Audi B3 CD, my VW Passat B5
CD, and my BMW ETK CD.  I have not yet installed ETKA there, but I may as
well do that at some point (the power supply in this machine recently died
so I'll be working on it at some point in the near future)
