He is responsible for purchasing equipment for his company to produce cds. He has been looking into getting a WORM, but has been informed that these can only be read by WORM cd drives, and not any cd drive. Is this correct? I thought that a cd could be read by any drive, as long as the system was correct (i.e. IBM v. Mac), or I am completely in the dark about this. I admit that I am pretty ignorant when it comes to understanding the technology issues. Can someone provide me some kind of info to pass along? If there are any specifics that you need to know. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks... Paul Hostetler phostetler@vines.iusb.indiana.edu Indiana Univ South Bend FAO
