Wow, 200 gigs. Nobody will ever use that much space.
(640 k is all the memory...) :)

I wonder if it's the usual news media getting it wrong...
(eg. 50 gig vs. 200 gig)

Anyway, that would be quite a coup, advertising everyones
distro on a common DVD. I wonder if that would make distros
more competitive or make them niche more. Both maybe...

What's interesting is that BenQ is the first onto the market
with the product. *Not Sony or Phillips/LG* who developed
the technology.
