Yes, Scott mentioned it above and it caught my attention.  I'm going to
have to take some time to figure it out, but I'm already interested.
Thanks for providing a link.

I'm put off by all this talk about optical media being obsolete.  It's
saved my bacon more than once - you just have to understand its
limitations and organize yourself in a way that compensates for it.
New hardware doesn't usually have a CD reader in it anymore, so I've
gone out and bought an external one to ensure I can continue to burn
disks.  Hell, at less than $1 per disk these days it's not even that
much money.
