While a useful link, it certainly isn't definitive.  The Pro version
also included a printed copy of a manual absent (at least in printed
form) the Personal version -- either the Reference Guide or the
Customization Guide, I forget which.  I assume other differences are
absent in the comparison too.

The 7.3 Pro version came with 9 CDs, plus the credit card sized
Survival CD.  Not having the 7.3 Personal version, I can't say how
many fewer CDs it shipped with.

As to whether the price difference was/is justified, I won't touch
that -- that's up to the individual customer.

I wonder, do you guys bitch so much about the difficulty in deciding
which model / trim-level of a particular model of car to purchase, or
which represents the best bang for the buck?
