I remember when CD-Rs were the savior of all our storage problems, and I weighed in heavily. They were easy to burn and very durable. BUT, just like VCR tapes were doomed because of the ease of coping video, CD's were doomed because of music and video coping. All media types are at the mercy of corporations with their own agendas. Just look a DVDs, Blu-Ray, they told us, would be better and longer lasting as far as use goes. But, really, who buys BR movies anymore?

I love and use all USB drive devises now, and SSD and HDD. But how long before the corps determine it's no longer good for them?
