Sounds like something out of Trek...also, a 3.5 disk is in a square thingy too, and looks as much like a disk as the optical thingummy (I presume...never seen one.) But how about calling it an optimag disk? or even lasermag...or opnetic...or magtical...or even such things as WMRM!(write many..) or CMCD! (Computer Media Compact Disk) or CD-MMS (CD Mass media storage!) or any number of other things... :-)! How about WARM? Write And Read Many? or COLD? Computer Optical Laser Disk? or NODS? Next Optical Data Storage? Or NUTS, for NeXT's Unusual Type of Storage! or JOKE-Jobs' Optical Kilobyte Engine, or more...flames to dev/null, please. Not to offend any NeXT worshippers, I just love inserting a little humor anywhere I can! JBZimmerman! -- ___________ | "A flute with no holes is not a flute.
