They must consult the ancient tomes. Or I guess ask one of us who have.

I still have my old CD holders somewhere.

So we had special disk drives that basically zapped holes in a CD that played music or stored data. That's why we call it 'burning'

And get this: You didn't burn 4000 CDs. You burned one, sent it up to Sony in New Jersey, they cracked it open and then pushed it again polymer en masse to duplicate the CD. They called this "pressing."

I never learned to burn CD's cause I had a friend whose dad burned them for us. Not sure if that makes anyone feel old or not.

May I introduce you to the concept of punching holes in floppy disks to make them writable?

I wanna get a DVD/CD Rom drive in my PC, not because I need one because honestly it feels weird not having one
