[comp.ivideodisc] erasable compact discs

da-rt451@bgsu-stu.UUCP (Jeff Ryan) (11/13/90)

Hello,

My name is Jeff Ryan and I am a Bowling Green State university 
communications major.  I'm looking for as much current knowledge 
about erasable cd's as I can find.  Anything that has to do with
the technology itself, market predictions, costs, and anything else
that will help. I would greatly appreciate any information.

Thank you,

Jeffrey Ryan da-rt451

Hello,

My name is Jeff Ryan and I'am a Bowling Green State University RTVF major
and I'm looking for any recent information on erasable cd's.  I want to know how they work from a technical piont of view.  I also want to know what the future looks like for such a development.  What companies are in the process of development? What kind of costs will it endure during its development and what do we the public expect to pay?  Will the public take in erasable cd's like they did     when cassettes came out?

Thank you
