Why is it that USB sticks are not a real alternative?
For some, money matters, sometimes a lot. If a CD reader dies, a free replacement is highly likely available from somewhere, unlike a DVD reader. The cheapest sticks cost many times the price of the most expensive OM blank I've ever run across, and that price gap multiplies when buying OM in spools of 25, 50 or 100, even when including the cost of paper sleeves or plastic holders. OM can be conveniently be labeled with a whole lot more legible text regarding what is contained. Orderly storage for OM is easy to acquire and manage. I've yet to encounter any stick organizer, and considering the variety of stick sizes and shapes, I'd be surprised if I ever did. Miniaturization isn't always a good thing. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.
