Gigabytes of hard disk space are still getting cheaper every year. If you have
more than say 10 users wanting simultaneous access to Entrez, Medline etc have
a good look at the economics copying your CD ROM distribution disks to say a
Novell File Server (which can run IPX/SPX, TCP/IP, Appletalk, IBM 3270 etc
protocols if required). It is just about the same cost as a multi-CD player
juke box and an order of magnitude or more faster. The one I helped to set up
has been running happily for over a year now.
