My point exactly.  Paul has been predicting an end to the use of 
textbooks, but I do not see computers and textbooks as mutually 
exclusive.  No reason why we can't continue using textbooks and start 
using computers as a secondary resource.  Just as television did not 
bring an end to the use of the radio, I do not see computers killing off 
textbooks.
