Holy Wowsers!

/an engineers rant
I cry because optical disks should have never been re-designed to remove the caddy shell.

Back in the "old days" CD-ROMs use to come inside chunky caddies that protected them from scratchs, real sad..

Just imagine if you scrathed that monster! thats a lot of data to lose.
//Rant over

Anyways still an exciting developement
 
Anhar,

Keeping with modern times, I'd MUCH rather see a surface coating that is transparent enough to allow laser light transmission, but tough enough to withstand the gyrations we put disks through. I find it hard to believe that in an era where we can synthesize diamonds, we can't create a scratch-proof coating for optical media.
