Summary: 

Dave,

	Before you jump in with CDs, read the 22 Oct Electronics Week,
page 17.  The article is titled: Sony, Hitachi ready erasable optical
disks. It's subtitle is: Sony's 30-cm 1-gigabyte-per-side disk and
Hitachi's 12-cm 0.55-gigabyte disk bring commercial magneto-optical
gear into view.

	I'm not going to type-in all that's pertinent, but it does say:

	Later this month, Sony Corp.,...will deliver two drives...

	[Both cos.] imply that shipments are roughly two years in the
	future.
