That's all I'm saying. They're simply too small. I'm talking about commercially available, prerecorded material. I'm not talking about for burning stuff or storage devices. I think Calvin had a good point. Maybe they aren't popular as consumer items but I am starting to notice them being packaged with various items to contain instructions, manuals, etc.. Recently I have seen: 1. A small usb sdhc reader 2. A stud finder 3. A thermostat In each of these cases the packaging was not big enough to contain a full-sized DVD and the amount of content fit quite comfortably on the little things. So it looks like they are becoming pupular with manufacturers as a means of delivering interactive multimedia information with their products. rcp And that's a really good idea, putting them with products. But I said, as consumer items, they're too small. A while back, they attempted to put studio-released music on them, and I remember I saw one of an Aerosmith album. Nothing came of it. The people have made their choice. The CD-sized media is the perfect size. Well, that was the size of CD-singles, wasn't it? I have a copy of "Doctorin' the Tardis" on a mini-CD. I haven't seen but a few (in stores, a long time ago), and I don't know anyone who owns one. I don't think they caught on because of the size. --
