I've seen a number of messages pro and con HP's new technology that uses the laser beam of a DVD or CD burner to create a "cover" or title side for the disc.
The discussion reminds me of the debates about whether a Cross pencil or a Cross pen is better for jotting down a note.
The answer of course depends on the circumstances. I will often record a live broadcast of a classical music piece and burn a CD so that I can listen to it once or twice at myy convenience. For this sort of thing, where I expect to discard the CD after a short time, the me-honored way of jotting down a title witha sharpie is clearly best.
Alternatively, when I creat a cusomt CD for my own enjoyment from music I already own on CDs or have downloaded legally and I want to make a cusotm CD with a semi-professinal cover cover and some permanence, the Lightscirbe approach is clearly best.
In any event HP is to be congratulated for developing and marketing an inventive technology.
