Wow! I've just gotten a WEALTH of knowledge! So what if I got a RE-Writable and decided that only when I really needed to be able to re-write would I use the RE-writables and just simply use the other ones (normal non-rewritables)for every day use? Is the technology so bunk on them that they are not worth it? I mean there has to be some sorta advantage? Frankly...I thought of those 250mb zips but thought "I've never really encountered problems not fitting something on a regular zip" granted that may change in the near future... As for the CD's with Silver backs..what if I wanted to sell my products on CD? How do I get a hold of them then? MADNESS! PAN
