     Sony recently introduced a new generation of music compact disks--2.5"
in diameter with the same playing time as a normal CD.  The key differences
other than size are its caddy (it looks like a smaller version of a 3.5"
floppy disk) and re-writability--more than one million times per bit.  The
technology is still new so they go for $750, with prerecorded disks $16 and
recordable ones $20 or so. 
     I'm curious how adaptable MD's will be to pc's.  On the surface it sounds
like they could replace current CD-ROM technology.  Certianly the rewritability
will be greatly appreciated.  Then again flopticals are only 21 mb on a 3.5"
optical disks.  Hmm...
