Yes, it is possible to burn a 650MB ISO onto 700MB media ;-) > > How exactly are you defining ubiquitous? > I go to the video shop, and half the rentals are DVDs, half are HS. Does this mean everyone has a DVD player at home? Does it mean people are willing to buy a DVD drive to watch one video? When I go to the garage (gas station), more pumps have unleaded (which we got about 4 years ago) than leaded. Does this mean everyone has vehicles which take unleaded? Ubiquity shouldn't be judged by the people flogging the media, but the installed base.
