Sally: Did not mean to imply that Clik! disks could not be reused. Just that I suspect people will not download the information from them (say to a hard drive) and clear the disks and reuse and reuse. I think, if IOM prices these right and 9.95 is a great start, Cousin JimBob will opt to keep pictures on old Clik! disk (in addition to printing out the creme-de-la-creme) just as these days people keep pictures in albums. To view these pictures, JimBob puts disk(s) in 100-capacity Clik! drive, fires up the old 35" digital TV, opens a bag of pop-corn and pops the cork on some coca colas, sits back and with his Mother-in-Law blissfully views the last 250 weeks of family history - all perfectly preserved in painful detail.

And then when he goes to Yellowstone next year JimBob will just buy another Clik! disk, take his digital pictures, and after the trip store the disks just as we store photo-negatives these days. (So they work as positives and negatives!) (Of course many might reuse - so what IOM has to do is ensure that quality degrades after just so many reuses! - just like VHS these days)
