[Mucho hoopla about the optical disk deleted]

The NeXT's (I'm already getting tired of typing that thing!) optical disk
has been compared to audio CD's, which are hallmarked by superb reliability
and durability. "Pour sludge on it, rinse it off, stick it back in the drive,
and you still get studio-master-quality sound." Does anybody have information
on the reliability of the NeXT's storage medium? Are these things going to
do the same thing to hard drives that audio CD's did to vinyl LP's? We live
in exciting times, don't we?...... (-8
