John Olinda Textbooks should just come with a QR code instead of a CD in the back. Less plastic wasted. Of course then you have to maintain a URL for the files, but that will last at least as long as CD drives.

😀 Tom But then it costs more for the company to maintain whatever service/servers they use to deliver the content. Companies kind of do this by using scratch-off, one-time codes (and of course make more money by selling it to individuals rather than letting people share a CD).

John Olinda Well my concern is more that fewer and fewer computers come with CD drives. But educational companies don't seem to realize this yet.
