Its a jump between audio tape and DVD? Tapes have been on the way out for the last 10 years, and while DVD acceptance is rising quickly, I don't think the cost of burning them would really be worthwhile. (And is there even 4.7 gb worth of Lojban stuff that you'd want on a single disc?) Everybody has a CD player these days, target the largest section of the market. Now, if you want to do something video based, then a DVD would make sense. -- Jay Kominek If at first you don't succeed, Increase the amperage.
