CD WORM disks are useful for us.  I am currently working on a project
to use a WORM disk connected to a PS/2 for monthly backups of our Sun.
The system adminisitrator estimates the cost of tapes per monthly
backup is about $300.00  At $20.00 per WORM, it doesn't seem hard
to see that CD's are going to be around for a while.
