Standard, standards, who's got the standards

God knows I love new tech and new gadgets. But sometimes I wonder if things move too damn fast. Now they've developed PAPER DVD's and other new larger-capacity DVD formats.

Besides the above, I read today they're already looking to replace the DVD....and the DVD is supposedly going to replace the CD. It's moving towards replacing it for CD-R uses on computers.

Hell, I haven't finished replacing all my LP's and VHS tapes with DVD yet. Cut it out, guys!

Thanks heavens they are making DVD drives that are able to read and write the old formats. Oh yeah.....there's a ton of different DVD formats out there (DVD-ROM, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW and these new things.)

Unix and Linux have this problem too. There's eleventy-one different flavors of Unix and even of Linux. Hell, there's a half dozen Linuxii for the MACINTOSH for crissakes....And Mac OS X is a BSD Unix variant. I wonder if this hurts or help Unix/Linux. I'm betting it hurts.
