You really aren't missing much. Unless Lightscribe manages to develop a
full-color burning process, I don't think the technology is likely to
take off. Stores around here tend to have one row of Lightscribe CDs and
one row of Lightscribe DVDs on their shelves, and none carry anything
except the gold disks. Even with HP making Lightscribe drives standard
on all their computers, the technology doesn't seem to interest people
much.
