CD-ROM has been around for a while @ 550MB/disk. Will we see a
second-generation CD-ROM format with something like 2 GB of storage, and
downward compatability with current CD-ROM formats? Isn't more-than-550MB a
necessity when you start playing with DVI/interactive video? (Unless you want
to play games with compression all the time...)
