I called up Kodak here in the US and got some funny partial answers.
Kodak is not selling blank photo CD media to outside parties for any
amount of money.
They >>are<< willing to sell what they call ``a writeable CD-ROM''
for $25/minimum order 50.
I strongly suspect the only difference is the silk screening on the disk,
and that Kodak is manufacturing the material for its own internal
use under some oem license from either phillips, fuji, or taio-yuden,
which won't permit it to compete in the other market.
