Would somebody please explain who has been supplying re-writable
optical disks "for some time now"?  The last I heard, Tandy was
supposed to be the first to develop the technology for a WMRM drive,
and even they weren't planning to have it ready until 1989. 
Can't somebody clear this up?  After reading alt.next today, I see
that I'm not the only one with these questions.
