>>CD-R is WORM (write once read many) technology. Who needs it? One mistake, and you toss a disk. Even if you are perfect, the non-reusable media costs will quickly add up.<< Edwin - It's no use trying to argue with Mr. Macpherson about CD-R. Despite his claims to have only lurked here in the past, he has indeed popped up with bursts of bombast more than once before. I'm sure some of the other old-timers on this thread remember. The funny thing is, he was going on about how CD-R made more sense than Zip or Jaz right on this very thread over a year ago. And it really doesn't matter whether he or anyone else thinks CD solutions are better than what Iomega sells, because people just keep buying Zip and Jaz. Like me, most people see an advantage to the ease-of-use, speed and yes, reliability of Zip and Jaz. I myself am still planning to buy a CD-RW drive. I understand that new 4x write, 12x read models will be selling for less than $300 within a couple of months. But even after I buy the CD-RW drive, I will use my Zip and Jaz drives. They're made for different purposes. - Allen
