Larry's post:...."an electrical charge being placed across the media that
"excites" the surface and either turns on or off..."
I just love it when people use eclectic terminology when explaining
something!  Well said Larry.  Call me weird but that is what makes our
somewhat dreary IM topics interesting!

Now a question - What side of the CD is the information burned on?  The side
with the words or the other side?  I have heard people say different things?
I have also heard that if you have scratches that the CD can be fixed?  If
this works, does it have an effect on its permanence? Thanks
