You could also write to a CD-R more than once, but you couldn’t truly delete anything (it’d just write to a separate sector on the disc), which would be really frustrating as soon as you could no longer fit your school project on the disc (though, not that it mattered because compatibility of optical media always seemed atrocious anyway… Probably a mix of different versions of PowerPoint or whatever and actual CD compatibility issues).

I agree, but when you introduce someone to math, you don't start with integrals, haha. Thank you though for following up with good info, I almost added some about it, and thought it may make it over the top for an intro
