Ref:"CD-ROMS for Bob Logan / Guy Gordon / W. Song / Kassabian. Mike, I was just cooking some foods (actually cheap Perdue chickens) in the microwave and it just dawned on me. CD-ROMs and its cousins are like electric ovens. And Zip and Jaz are like microwave ovens. Used to cook with electric ovens all the time, now I don't even have the patient to wait just 5 minutes for the microwave to go beep beep... Most folks can now live without an electric oven, but have a very hard time without a microwave. Theoretical speed limit of affordable CDROM is about 10X read, and a lot less on write. But most importantly, it 's just not a natural media for writing/recording data over and over. It's just not natural to run a boat on highway or a car over water, although both can be done. There are still many natural applications for CDROMs. But I don't think rewritable data storage is one of them. This is the natural area for harddisks, Zip, and Jaz. Young
