I really want to use it, but right now it is about the same 
cost as tapes, without gaining a whole lot (doesn't look 
like a big speed gain, no convience gain, not cheaper) just
a smaller failure rate (presumably) and a big up front cost.
Maybe in a couple of years or so when the media starts 
reaching current CD-R media costs.
