When CD-ROM was introduced in 1983, it started a revolution in data storage that is still going on. But it was not until 1992, when the first desktop CD Recorders were shipped, that the real power of compact disc reached consumers. The ability to make on ones own desktop as few as one disc with up to 650 Megabyte of data in a formal that was readable en any computer with a CD-ROM drive, made massive data storage and file interchange a reality. That revolution is continuing with the advent of DVD-Recordable in 1998, allowing up to 3.9 Gigabytes on a single disc. In the next year or so, storing the full 4.7 Gigabytes specified in the DVD standards will be possible.
