I know you won't believe me but yes. This fact has been attested to at various annual meetings. I just bought one for my own under the tree present while I am waiting for DVD RAM prices to drop. DVD ROM is not our technology but DVD RAM is. If you look at the discs you will see discrete channels rather than a continuous groove as there is in the CD ROM. Is it no wonder that the broad retail market is confused if one of our most erstwhile supporters is? In the last several years our company has lost multi millions of dollars in royalties because of this confusion. As of this season though we are going to be going ahead full speed. Every manufacturer is now on board with CD-RW even the Zip drives our touting our technology, Acer, HP, Compaq, Creative Labs you name it they are all selling our product and it is moving like gangbusters. They can't keep up to the demand. Shades of Pokeman.

Don, They use the same disk media. Everything that you wanted to know, and more can be found here. osta.org They use the same disk media. What is "CD-ReWritable"? CD-RW is the most recent addition to the compact disc family. Originally tagged "CD-Erasable," the official name is now CD-ReWritable. As the name implies, CD-RW is a media and recording system that allows the user to erase previously recorded information and then to record new information onto the same physical location on the disc. This is accomplished by means of a new CD-RW media using "phase change" technology that allows a laser beam to change the media material from amorphic to crystalline by means of a shift in recording power. The new CD-RW drives have all the functionality of previous CD-R drives, allowing them to write to CD-R media as well as adding the new function of erasing previously recorded information and recording new information on CD-RW media.
