By the way, this above information is not correct for the product talked 
about. Regular CD-RW`s do not hold this much info no matter how you format 
them. It is CD-DVD that hold this much info, and they will not work in a 
regular CD Rom, you have to have a DVD Rom to use them or no good. Just 
thought I would pass that along as well.  There is a difference in CD`s out 
there, so be careful what you use and the goals you are setting for different 
things. :-)
