SciAm CDROM, which is complete?

this may seem to be a bit dumb, but...i live in another country and if
i order a cdrom and open it i can't return it back, so i have to ask:
which of the SciAm Amateur scientist cdrom is totally complete? the
'Science Fair' edition or the 'Amateur Astronomer' edition? am more
interested in the astro stuff but if the SciFair edition contains ALL
of the AmAstro edition then i'd take the SciFair edition. Thanks all.

Good question; I wasn't aware of the "Science Fair" CD. The two I have
are "The Amateur Astronomer" and "The Amateur Scientist", and I'm very
pleased with both; bought them several years ago for myself as a Christmas
present.

FWIW, "Science Fair" sounds like it's something different. Get them both.
Point being the SciAm CDs were done correctly as HTML documents and thus
operate with ALL operating systems (UNIX, Linux, Windows, MacOS, etc.)
that support browsers and would be easy to sell to anyone if you should find
one of them doesn't suit your needs.
