It's also when they raised pricing and stopped making the bundles available after a certain date.
You think I am going to buy those just to find out?

I have the dead tree of many of those on the 2nd edition list.

I expect the edits might have:
1) fixed typos and other errors
2) adjusted 'dated' content (CRT, flat screen, Tape....)
