making cdroms read and write

I trow this is what he has in mind.

"Gentle-person"? J.Dow being "politically correct"!?

BTW, the term "gentleman" is derived from ethnically-oriented
bias. It derives from "gentile" as opposed "jewish"; gentiles
obviously being better-bred than Jews. This word, along
with it's close relatives "gentle" and "genteel" etc. should
be expunged from the language of all who substitute "person"
for "man" in an attempt to be "nice". I've never seen any do
it, and consider such people to be hypocrites, anyway.
