>>The point is not that you can append files; the point is that that 640 megabytes acts precisely like a read/write media until such times as you have exhausted the entire disk. That's an important concept considering you can buy them for less that $2 per disk, don't you think?<<

Really.

If I write a file to a CD-R disk, then decide to replace it with an updated version of the file, I can't, unless I either put it into a new directory, or change the name of the file.

That's not "exactly like a (sic) read/write media," is it?
