Presenting The CDR-ROM

Posted by chrisd on from the don't-give-aol-any-ideas dept.

nachoboy writes "Here's a cool new idea: the CDR-ROM. Allows a portion of the CD to be written and them mass produced, leaving the remaining area recordable by the user. It may sound funny, but if AOL started sending out CD's like this I might just start keeping them around."

    "Tons of people.."

    Always interesting that people use a mass descripter to indicate a quantity of people.

    1 Ton of people = 13 people (@ 75kg each)

    CDRs are like 40-50 cents a piece (Canadian!!!), with the levy (well, if you buy in bulk/spindles). I'm not too crazy about the levy myself, but God man its only a few cents per disc, overstating it to such proportions does nothing but breed hysteria.
