I was just browsing amazon.com, and I came across a CD-ROM entitled St.
Thomas Aquinas and the Summa Theologica (ISBN 1890906026) from an outfit
called Harmony Media, Inc. Amazon gives no information about the CD other
than this, but it is moderately priced at $47.45. I wonder if anyone on the
list knows this CD and could post a brief evaluation of it.
Thanks,
