They WERE converted to computer form... It's called ETKA. Most dealerships
are using that now instead of the microfiche. The newest version even has a
feature where you type in a p/n and it'll tell you all the cars it was used
on. Very Cool!

        They would be nice to look at but cumbersome to view- would
be nice if someone could convert them to PDF and offer them on a CD...
