My dad uses that same system at his shop. It'* pretty cool how you can zoom in on diagrams and figure out how to fix problems for just about any vehicle imaginable. Good thing they switched to DVD, though. Imagine how many CDs that would take for all that info.

Fo sho, the install takes up 100gb...

ALLDATA is basically a set of factory manuals for all cars from 1982-present.

I have Mitchells On demand 2002, I find it is great for wiring and troubleshooting (which is really all I need it for) but it is lacking in good mechanical breakdown diagrams. For me it works but ALLDATA is great!
