What? You guys never watched WKRP? It's right up there with, "As God is my witness, I thought Turkeys could fly".
Then the drive manufacturers reply: "Sure no worries, we're just going to change a couple chips in the old writers so they burn faster, then release our new super fast drive that can burn your "new" high speed discs!"
The disc manufacturers reply: "Awesome thanks for that. Let us know if you want to make an even faster writer so we can release our super high speed discs."
