Is it true that CDRs are more durable, and much more

Just don't confuse 'less readable' with 'unreadable'.

A well-known troll intimates:

CD-RW is less reliable than CD-R, thus CD-RW is unreliable.

How come you no longer use "I refer" after (5/17/02)?

Would that have anything to do with my pointing out these at that time?

A related technology called CD-E (CD Erasable) is expected
to be available in late 1996.

[Note: It was recently decided to call this technology
"CD-Rewritable" instead of CD-Erasable" -- kwc]

Subject: [2-12] How does CD-RW compare to CD-R?

CD-RW is short for CD-Rewritable. It used to be called
CD-Erasable (CD-E), but some marketing folks changed it
so it wouldn't sound like your important data gets erased
on a whim.

Erasable CDs are a go, compatibility to come later

known until a month ago as CD-Erasable
