Mini CDs

As I quote from a voice recorder entry...

If the CD isn't ubiquitous enough, what about the Mini CD? Or, what if they manufactured Mini CD drives for computers? Or laptops?

When I pitched this idea to Jay, he reminded me of economic cost. Is it really that economical to reduce the size of the CD drive? Don't the normal size and mini CD drives have the same parts? In their same parts, are you just reducing the radius of the drive and nothing else? That's crowded.

And are mini CDs that much cheaper?

Even then, it doesn't matter. I bought myself a spindle of mini CD-Rs and I found out that my shiny Senate laptop has a DVD/CD-RW. Sweetness. Mini CDs for everyone!
