Yes, it's inexpensive, but it can't seem to find a lot of things I'm
looking for (which I find using a concordance ...).  IMO, it's not worth
it.  There is a cheaper CD out, recently advertised at about 500 shekels
($120), but I haven't used it yet, and I can't find the ad with the name of
the product.

Bar Ilan's textual reliability is far superior to other Judaic CD's I've
seen.  Their Responsa Project can search Tanach, Talmud, Midrashim and
other sources by quite a few methods (incl. root).  However, it does not
have vowels or cantellation.  They also put out "Ma'agar Ha-Tanach", which
has Tanach with vowels and cantellation, and is not nearly as expensive as
the Responsa.
