 This is the important word. It's physically impossible to really write to
 a CD-ROM. CD-Write will handle CD access transparently AS IF You could modify
 data on a CD, but will in fact write to harddisk. So you won't get a cheap
 600MB writeable media, but CD-Write might be useful for arranging icons and
 windows, to modify Tooltypes or Program settings, so you don't have to install
 a entire program packet (e.g. TeX) on harddisk but the mere config files.

 I hope this makes things a little clearer despite my poor english. This is a
 german language group anyway :)

 BTW, the german ad has about the same text, but an additional part which
 explains the functionality a little more detailed. And if You were not in USA
 (.com ?) I would offer to buy it from me. End of commercial! ;-)

 Hope I could help,

 greetings, Christian.
