The version of Direct CD I have once it has formated the disk treats a CD-RW
just like a floppy. But, it takes about two hours to completely formate the
disk. It does allow you to start writing before it is completely formated,
but there are limitations to that.

I agree with you, Butch.
In fact, I have thought the easiest way for Pentax to provide a digital body
for their medium format users is to simply put the MF mount on a 35mm format
digital body. Why go to the expense of all that extra engineering if you are
going to limit the sensor size to 24x36?
case of the blind leading the stupid. He could go to any number of
places with digtial print kisoks, where they'll print out any pictures he
wants from his camera.
None of this has anything to do with fads, but a lot of bitterness by
someone who's been left behind due to lack of funds.

No, Mark. You don't take the word of a guy who actually designs optics, you
have to look on the web for an authoritive digital optics website produced
by a dogcatcher, or a janitor. You are not even allowed to use your own
common sense which would tell you the sensor in the hole theory is BS.
