I use outdated technology just for fun, listen to crappy music, and watch a lot of horror movies. Expect posts about These Things. I talk a lot.

Like. None of the information here is wrong, from what I can tell, but by God is it impossible to tell what's going on.

I suppose this chart was written in the era before Multi-drives existed and we still had the - vs + internal format war for recordable DVDs. The copyright says 2002, so that's sure what this is about. My God. Can you imagine trying to figure this garbage out in 2002?

The DVD+RW drive at the very bottom of the chart strikes fear into my soul.

... Was there really a time when you could purchase a DVD burner which could read and burn DVD+RW discs, but could not burn a standard DVD+R? How would that even be possible? How would that make financial sense to produce and sell? Or is that just a made-up product to pad this chart and make it even more confusing to look at? Because I hope to God that product did not actually exist.
