Tom,I share your concern about certain RW disk manufactures not being licensed. I called ECD today and every thing is going fine (did not ask about license problem today.)no new news. This problem has not been put in any public 10k that I know of I think their trying to solve this problem though reasoning with non license's companies. ECDs,listening to its own drum beat on this and I don't know what it is? Once I called the battery division finally got a call back at end of ECDs day. The conversation started "You got two minutes." needless to say a I got short answers. I try not to call to often I don't want to interfere with their time to much and by far the majority of time I am treated with respect. Although I still get short answers at times as if you are talking to a lawyer.(And sometimes you are.) Public relation's always gives good account of itself but anything of technical nature can't be answered very often. Posters, my post on companies suing was in no way directed at anybody's post. Just want all of us to be informed to what's happening on the net. Allen
