Compact Disc - Read Only Memory


Kiss your floppies goodbye.

Reliable. Permanent. Faster. Your floppies are now outdated. With the recently released CD-ROM drive for the computer, your computers world has just been turned upside down. With storage space of 650 mb per CD, or enough space to hold over 400 floppy disks, an entire encyclopedia can fit on one CD-ROM. No longer do you have to worry about losing your information in a sporadic manner like on a floppy. As long as the CD doesn't get scratched or subjected to extreme temperatures, the information on it will be safe.

The CD-ROM also has another use. It can hold 74 minutes of crystal clear audio. This audio can include music, instructions, or speeches. The best part of this is the ability to skip through different audio tracks seamlessly. Never again will you have to worry about getting the tape jammed in player, there are no parts on a CD-ROM that can get wound up in the players gears. This will definitely become the future of storage.
