>>Even better would be a CD-Rom drive built into a printer or Fax. That way, the printer would have near 100% compatibility with the standard in medias- CD.<< Elaine - (You're making this way too easy for me today.) Say, that really would be better. I could use a write-once medium like a CD-R to save my fax to. Then I could just throw the disk away when I am done, instead of re-using the Zip disk again and again for many jobs. Yes, that makes a lot of sense. (I do know that some multi-session CD-R packages make it possible to re-use a CD-R disk, but only for a limited number of uses.) Plus I can see where there's a big advantage to using a CD-R burner instead of a Zip drive, since while it's writing the job I could have a coffee break. And the CD-R drive is only about two to three times as expensive as a Zip drive, so that's no problem. Elaine, I hate to tell you this, but your brain is a barrel, your ideas are fish, and I've got a shotgun. Might as well give up. - Allen

Magnetic storage will be around for along time. Look at digital camcorders, they STILL use tape.
