Toadman's M16 MGMC Photo Detail CD
This CD is simply packed with clear, crisp photos of the main subject, the M16 MGMC, and for good measure, the CD also has additional coverage of the Combination Gun Carriage M15A1 and the Trailer Mount M55, Multiple Cal. .50 Machine Gun, M45. So right away, you are getting more than you bargained for.
For computers using Microsoft Windows, the CD auto starts when placed into your computer and opens in a internet browser format. Simple and easy to navigate around in. For MAC systems, the auto-run feature will not work, this is addressed on a slip of paper tucked into the case with the CD.
Each of the three subjects has it's own table of contents. For the main subject of this CD, the M16 MGMC, the main table of contents breaks down the subject into a number of major sub-assemblies. Each sub assembly then has numerous outstanding detail photos. Navigation via the menus/ tables of contents is quick and easy. Below the photos of the main subjects of the CD, I've listed the table of contents for each, so you can get a better idea of how comprehensive the coverage of each subject is.

To give you an idea of how well the above areas of the M16 MGMC are covered, there are well over 300 photos in total of this vehicle on the disc. Very impressive, especially in view of the quality of the photos. The coverage of the M16 MGMC is superb and more than justifies purchase of this disc.

Conclusions
At $7.99 plus a couple of bucks for shipping, a disc packed full of clear, bright, outstanding photos like this is a steal. AMPS members get 20% off, so it's even more of a bargain.
The photos are well done, they're bright, they're well composed, they're crystal clear. Navigating your way around this disc is a snap. The photographs are categorized logically, making it easy to find the component that you're looking for. In writing reviews, I try to balance the positives and negatives to present a review with reasonable objectivity. To be honest, I can't really think of any negatives with this product. That's pretty cool.
