Discs are on their way out. See thread on Sony closing its New Jersey cd plant. Says it all.
"CD's" are on their way out.
That doesn't mean little discs that came after CD's are out.
I'm all for the end of CD's. Bring on the Hi-Def Audio (not that I actually think it would catch on since most people are happy with MP3's).
Still a bit pricey for me. I guess it wouldn't be a bad idea to have yet another form of media to store my backups on. Right now I'm 100% hard drive based, so I don't think it would hurt to add another medium. I don't believe burned media is the most reliable, but I don't consider anything 100% reliable.
Anyway, thanks for the heads up. When drives are $50 and discs under $1 each I'll bite.
