More stupid textbooks
My Investment Portfolio Management book, Fundamentals of Investment Management claims to have a copyright date of 2003. Why then does it contain this paragraph (my emphasis)?
More computer-accessible databases have become available in the last several years as home computer usage has increased and database storage management has improved. The new craze is the use of compact discs (CD-ROMs) to store information that would take up several hundred floppy discs. Several major sources of data are still available for use in large mainframe computers on magnetic tapes, but this medium is losing its competitive edge as computer networks linking personal computers (PCs) together are replacing mainframes.
*sigh*
