Aha - I had not heard that! I will have to check out the ramifications
since we are getting ready to get into being able to write CD-R disks
here. Since most all cd-rom drives you run into today are multi-session
compatible, presumably there wouldn't be much of a problem along those
lines (I just saw a 18x drive advertised for around $200. Amazing).
