> I think the debate is moot. No one will ever abandon computers in favor of textbooks, but the opposite is certain to happen. We're already seeing demands from parents in our school for CD-ROM versions of textbooks.
> To me, the debate is like people at the turn of the century who were looking to improve their grass and hay production to feed their horses, when cars had already been invented. It's just a matter of time. The "smell and feel of books" crowd is just going to have to get over it!
