CD-RW and DVD+RW Industry Leaders Unfold Roadmap for Data Interchange

''The phenomenal success of CD-RW is a direct result of its ability to create 650 MB discs that work in hundreds of millions of CD and DVD readers,'' said Mikel Dodd, president of Philips Optical Storage. ''CD-RW is poised to become the unchallenged solution for universal data interchange in both computer and entertainment environments, and is the platform of choice to take data, audio and video content from one domain to the other.''

Worldwide CD-RW markets are expected to grow from 2.5 million drives in 1997 to more than 15 million units in 1999, according to data supplied by Philips Electronics.


CD-RW is the future. Zip (in any of its flavors) is an expensive dinosaur with only 5% penetration of the computer market. Why distribute ANYTHING on it? Distribute on CD and have near 100% compatibilty!
