- If the Kodak stuff (spit) does actually catch on
- in the mass market, does that mean the price of write-once CD blanks
- will drop significantly? They're about 30 pounds here ($50). Are the
- Kodak blanks compatible with ordinary ISO 9660 data CDs? and music? (the
- CD writer we're buying will write music CDs - dunno what the fancy
- name for them is but they play in ordinary CD players)

- CDrom readers; it's just the unformatted blanks I'm asking about.
