Add a launcher for your Russan Space Shuttle Braun that was on sales a while back would be fun.

Why deal with wimply 3 1/2 or 5 1/4 converts! Go with 8" floppy! Those thing had AC motors to drive the disk and built like a tank. Plus would stomp the heck out of these wimppy robot drives!
The problem is look at the selection in a video or sell through store? Compare to the limited selection that could possibly be offered through basically limited pipe. The problem is the name of VOB its should be called LTVOB or Limited Titles Video On Demand.
There were some concepts of software durning the late 90's of using java and downloading when you want to run it. Solves patching etc. It basically died except for flash/simple entry on web pages or nice way to wreck your system.
Sega and others have tried this with games on demand of a working collection of 10 to 30 titles over the years. It never survived.
How about newspapers? its 2003 and they are still printing newspapers in the time of 24/7 news coverage. Its basicaly a good media transportable and can be takens just about anywhere.
The only way this will overtake any hard media is if everthing and any thing can be dialup for a basic fee per month. Everything from the first "movie ever made" to the latest movie, tv show etc. Even the net with it 'n' pages does not cover everthing. It is a good exmple of info on demand. But there are still libararys and bookstores being built and expanding on even after the explosive growth of the last ten years of the net.
The bottom line is its just one drop of water in a sea of media transport. It fills a nitch but cant do the whold thing. There is not enough bandwidth or instant storage to be abble to accees what the description of VOD is letting you beleve.
Have tried vinyl and the material is not destroyed by the normal RS etching solution.
Found a printer late last year that has a strate paper path. A Lexmark i3. Cramed a CD and it actualy printed on the top of it. Did try a test with paper and printed test in some etching solution and it seam to pass ok. Now if I can get some time will cram a pc board and print out a circuit! Be nice if I could replace the std ink with a copper based and just print the layout.

There have been a bunch of these over the years. Even Atari had one. Ran Dos and even smaller!
The think is like MS they have the idea of "We invented it first!" Sheech!
