It was a case of Numbers Overload for me. Too many numbers in the same PC World article, none of which I could relate to. :-) One thing in the article I didn't mention--which is significant, at this stage of the DVD game--is that there's questionable compatibility beween various DVD burners; stuff written on one can't necessarily be read by another. This would indicate that DVD archiving isn't yet ready for Prime Time. Best regards--LRA _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp

Presumably you meant 14GB. :) Funny I was just reading about DVD-RAM and DVD-RW last night and they were only talking a max of 4.7GB per side. But it may not take too long to get higher densities. Yes, you could lose a lot of data - one of the things DVD-RAM has going for it is a case around the disk akin to the case on a 3.5 floppy. Reducing the likelihood of damage has to help.
