This may not apply to you but ... In my opinion, the reason DVD is not the
"rage" is that DVD is a device in search of a need. No application exists
that really NEEDS a DVD, especially as a data storage device in computers.
I think they are going to be replaced by some new technology before they
ever find their niche. I try to discourage users who ask about DVDs in
computers for now. I'm still waiting for a reason to have one instead of a
normal CD-ROM.
