I've spent a few years in the CD and DVD recordable world.  I'm a product manager for a Internet based company that sells CD, DVD and Blu-ray recordable discs and duplication systems.   My own personal blog on this world.  Optical storage has always been in competition with magnetic storage like tape and spinning hard drives.  I say "has" because now the new disruptive technology has joined the pilliars of storage: Solid State Memory.   With all these competing technologies everyone wonders which one will win.  My focus will be on Optical storage (with the exception of MO:   not many of us keep a Magneto Optical system hooked up to our main frames) ;) I may diverge on the subject of solid state drives sometimes (because I think it will replace Magnetic and not Optical).
