From: http://www.dvdrw.com/press/duallayer.htm Philips will demonstrate its new dual-layer DVD recordable technology at the DVD+RW Alliance booth at the CEATEC* JAPAN 2003 exhibition in Makuhari (Chiba, Japan) from October 7 to 11. Developed by Philips Research in cooperation with MKM (Mitsubishi Kagaku Media)/Verbatim, the technology virtually doubles data storage capacity on DVD recordable discs from 4.7 Gbyte to 8.5 Gbyte while remaining compatible with existing DVD Video players and DVD-ROM drives. |

Yes, top posting is so much clearer and more convenient.
Only die-hard people resistant to change have not yet recognized it. Most seem to be academicly related. "Sparky" wrote in message ... Tom Scales wrote: Yes, I said that before you edited it out.

FYI
I installed a Lite-On LDW-451S in my 4550 (a basic 4X) and with the help at this website: http://www.cdfreaks.com/ I changed the firmware and made it a SOHW-832S (which is an 8X dual-layer recorder) Lite-On is an inexpensive...but very good drive. Burning DVDs is rewarding...but takes quite a bit of study and research to fathom. (compared with burning cds) |

Sarcasm, sarcasm.
The original poke about top-posting was a flame s "Sparky" wrote in message ... Tom Scales wrote: Yes, top posting is so much clearer and more convenient. Only die-hard people resistant to change have not yet recognized it. Most seem to be academicly related. Now that *does* sound like a flame. |

Tom,
I agree with you, except the academically part. :-) Nothing more frustrating than scrolling down a rather long post to read a one line reply. Top post rules! The exception would be to make a point by point rebuttal to a long post. Paul "Tom Scales" wrote in message ... Yes, top posting is so much clearer and more convenient.

The academic part was tongue-in-cheek since Sparky has an edu domain.
