Additionally, people who don't return rented DVDs on time aren't necessarily "lazy" in all cases as they might be out of town a lot, etc.
I had no idea EZ-D DVD was _this_ close to actually coming out. I'll have to see if I can find one and try it out.

Yeah, there is a dirty little secret right now in the world of recycling. The way the system is set up right now, more time, money, resources and energy are used to recycle than to not. I agree it is the way to go, but even if you have trash separation at home (one bin for garbage, one for 'recyclables',) a lot of times they wind up in the same landfill.
I didn't realize that the product was so close to launch either. The only thing that the package mock-up (or is it real?) is missing is a hook for the peg that I'm sure these will be displayed on. Hey, if nothing else, it will be fun to watch the red disc turn black.
Tom, you know what surprised me? How shrill and frantic the reviewer sounded in his article. It made me appreciate the civil and well thought out discussions that occur on this board.
