Is that in US dollars? I've yet to see them below $.50; with what crystal
ball do you see them dropping to $.25?
They'll be useful to me only if they show up as rewritables (in fact, a CDRW
that size would be very useful to me, especially if they're under $1), but
only for data. For audio recording MD does the job, and it will continue
to.

MD needs to get more computer-compatible, because a significant market, not
only Michael, equates that with "better."

Agreed. The RIAA has set up a barrier between computer-compatible formats
and audio-recorder formats that is very hard to straddle, and the last
several years have shown that there is more market on the computer-using
side. Besides, for the non-computer side, there isn't much that any new
compressed format can have over MD.
