When a 24x CDRW drive costs less than $100, when blank CDR/RW media can be had for $10 for a 50 pack, when even USB/SCSI/Firewire external CDRW drives are available for less than $200, japs still use MO drives.
WHY?
Because its jap. They love the feeling of backing up their data to a MO drive. They love to pay close to $500 for an external SCSI, IDE, or USB unit. When your PC doesn't have a SCSI card, you buy the most expensive SCSI card so that you can connect the MO drive to it.
But best of all, you buy a new PC with CDRW drive built in, and you STILL special-order a SCSI card and an external MO drive. Now THAT is true idiocy.
