        Oh god, I was so excited for CD-RW and then I realized how horrible they are, having to wipe the whole ass disc to rewrite on it, and they didn’t read in some CD drives.

          Funny, I can’t remember that. Even checked wikipedia and you’re right.

          I remember being really impressed by CD-R and CD-RW when we got a new P3 desktop with a CD drive with CD-RW support. And I vividly remember even USB flash drives being relatively low capacity (32 MB) in the early 2000.

          Maybe I only used them on my PC or perhaps the school had a computer lab refresh and the CD drives supported CD-RW media.

      I think route missing the point. They want them to suffer and not be able to use the computers
