[CentOS] new laptop: DVD or Blu-ray

[ken]

[I guess were doing top-posting on this sub-thread.  Okay, why fight it??]

Chris, I didn't know that either.  In fact, Sorin answered the question 
I was thinking of when I posted it.  It's really counter-intuitive, even 
misleading, that "authoring" means burning the DVD... or maybe it means 
that in the context of DVDs, but means something else in the context of 
film/video production.  (But then in that latter context, "producing" 
means "supplying or arranging the funding for", which is also 
misleading.)  When someone says they authored a book, to me that doesn't 
mean they only printed it, bound it, and put a cover on it.  Well, it's 
not something worth pounding to death.  People had to have been happier 
before there was language.  :)
