Don't get me wrong, machine-readable can be great, but CarDiscs don't 
take advantage of any of the benefits of being machine-readable.
The text is neither searchable nor cross-referenced, the data format 
is a secret, the software is not portable and the media is not 
particularly cheap.  

And on top of all that, most of the wiring diagrams are unreadable.

In this day and age, the complete text of Alfa's service manuals 
ought to be available 24 hours a day from http://www.alfaromeo.com.
