For all the reasons Ari Feldman listed, I think CD-ROMs are a great way to
deliver content. I wish more clients considered producing their content on
CD. However, if you have content that changes a lot, it's probably not the
best way to go. I do work for a couple of clients where their audience
connectivity is not always reliable. In those cases we built a website and
then made the website available on CD-ROM.
