Coined from
the fact that a laser is used to inscribe the information by burning small
pits in the medium, and from the fact that disk comes out of the drive warm
to the touch. Writable CDs can be done on a normal desk-top machine with a
suitable drive (so there is no protracted release cycle associated with
making them) but each one takes a long time to make, so they are not
appropriate for volume production. Writable CDs are suitable for software
backups and for short-turnaround-time low-volume software distribution,
such as sending a beta release version to a few selected field test sites.
