"CD" (for all that means) is just the size/shape/medium on which the read-only laser disks will be made for micros. The WORM and rewritable disks may be larger (or smaller!). 500M *erasable*? Yow, do you know what price range they are in? They may be affordable even sooner than I thought. dpz -- David P. Zimmerman rutgers!dpz dpz@rutgers.edu
