        Ya know, I'm not really into the digi-pic scene but frankly I moved from
CD-R to DVD media about 2 years ago. I can't even imagine why R&D is still
being spent on it.

        CD-R = 700MB @ $0.20
        DVD+R = 4.7GB @ $0.50

        Hmmmm, holds 6.5X as much data and yet costs only about 2.5X as much.
