Tim,
I'm sure , if you have a networked practice ( like you, we don't!) , CD-
ROM versions would be more efficient - easier toa acces the index - and,
as an additional benefit, force use of the mouse finger for
"education"..
If not, CD ROMs might cause partnership problems .. or the demand for
PCs with a CD ROM drive on every partner's ( and every nurses') desk..
and where would you keep the discs? have you done the sums? Would
networking (or a paper library) be less stressful?
