About CD-ROM's
CD-ROM technology has been around for over five years which makes
it old in this rapid changing world of information technology.
Yet it is very new because it is finally beginning to reach its
potential. The number of CD-ROM drives installed is growing
geometrically. Millions of drives are now being sold each year.
Soon a CD-ROM drive will be a standard feature on every personal
computer sold.
CD-ROM will be an important part of information technology for a
long time, not only because of its large storage capacity, but
because the information stored is so easily retrieved. The
ability to store and retrieve text, images, sounds and videos,
plus its portability will insure its continued use as the
information revolution continues.
CD-ROM allows the SYSOP to have low cost data online at a
fraction of the cost of a comparable hard drive. The new
multiple CD-ROM players will continue the trend of providing more
data at less cost.
