Some very interesting points.  I begin to wonder what made Sony jump ship 
from the DVD Forum in 1998.  So if +R/RW is merely marketing hype by 
Sony/Philips to push their format onto PC OEMs.. what’s the real point here. 
 Are the technical differences between +R/RW and -R/RW really that 
important or is it more of a market share and profit margin deal?  Also when 
you look at companies like Taiyo Yuden who are only making -R media right 
now, you also have to wonder.  Typically media/chemical companies aren't one 
to play political games so I wonder if it's only a matter of time before 
they start manufacturing +R media as well.  Personally I am only interested 
in future compatibility of making large amounts of -R or +R data and DVD 
movie backups.  Basically looking at an archival project so RW really 
doesn't do much for me.
