By only producing a CD-ROM History, the Fraternity forgets that not every college student can afford a computer of their own to view this data.

What are your thoughts?
I completely agree with this whole paragraph.

So many groups are going the CD-ROM route and bagging the printed word and I HATE it. If I want to know how old so and so chapter is, I'm going to go to a book, not turn on the computer, put in the CD-ROM and search for it.

I believe that the average college student's computer use is being misinterpreted in many ways...this is one of them.
