Elite Micro DVD±R



For somewhat less than twice the price one can get this one, with twice the throughput and a built-in PC. Probably can't justify either of them at this point, but it's awfully tempting.

Daddy, I want one!!! That's just *too* cool.

Funny, I saw those first come out at SIGGRAPH way the heck back in about 1993... they're just now getting commonplace.

And doing it that way is *the* way for mere mortals to put out CD's you expect to keep... Sharpie just doesn't look pro, and stick-on labels severely stunts the life of the CD... but print thine own frosted donut? Oh, hellyeah.

Many Epson printers, including the R200 that I have, will print on CDs. (As an aside, it turns out that there's a big difference between "printable" and "ink jet printable" that I didn't appreciate when I bought my last batch of disks.)

The big advantage of this critter is that it will crank out CDs unattended. The disadvantage is that the software's proprietary and GUI-based, so forget about trying to crank out individually-customized disks using a script.

It's still tempting. Think what you could do at a concert...
