      Oh god, I was so excited for CD-RW and then I realized how horrible they are, having to wipe the whole ass disc to rewrite on it, and they didn’t read in some CD drives.

        Funny, I can’t remember that. Even checked wikipedia and you’re right.

        I remember being really impressed by CD-R and CD-RW when we got a new P3 desktop with a CD drive with CD-RW support. And I vividly remember even USB flash drives being relatively low capacity (32 MB) in the early 2000.

        Maybe I only used them on my PC or perhaps the school had a computer lab refresh and the CD drives supported CD-RW media.
