I had several of these in the past. I'll dig them out to see who makes them - Cost was around quid each and they hold about 150Mb. Actually I think one was re-writable as well.

Hey, they're COOL.

Wonder how compatible they are with the average CD-ROM ?

Anyone tried em ? Its just the kind of pretentious nonsense I got for!

One of our clients was stupid enough to go and get an electronic brochure and 500 of the cd's pressed for just over £4000 elsewhere without asking us! Wanted to know how much 500 cost to get pressed and then go back to them and make them feel silly.

We got 1000 for a quid each. IIRC, 500 was about 1.80 each. No idea who did them - sorry

You can make 'em yourself. Buy the blanks and labels from maplins or quite a lot of places on the net.

One thing about these though, don't put them in machines with slot loading cd/dvd drives. Will make mincemeat of them. Not that I'm speaking from experience of course
