	What is the current feeling and experience about erasable optical ?
It seems that Sony has the most market visibility. What are people's
experience with it, particularly on MVAX/Ultrix and SUN ? Is it solid,
reliable, not too slow ? Other comments positive and negative ?
	Thanks. Please email responses.

PS: We've had good luck with WORM drives and the TenX-OCU, which makes a
WORM look like a R/W disk. At $100 for 800Mb, its pretty good. Cheap, too
(< $3500).
