Technology takes a step backwards...!

So, why would someone want to use a microfilm emulator on a computer accessed database rather than a full-text database? Doesn't make sense to me. Nor does it make sense that you would risk sea-sickness of the pages flying by on a computer screen -- just as you would experience on a microfilm viewer....

The upside is that if you need an ad or a stock ticker page, it is contained on the emulator/database...the downside is the image is still as grainy as it appears on the film... Just wondering why someone would write software to make something so odd work...?
