Probably, which is why it seems to me an 80mm CD
represents a better ballance point between portability
and functionality than a "business card CD": just bit
larger - in one dimension only - but with a roughly
quadruple gain in storage. Yet there is a plethora of
BC card "live CD's" an no 80mm's that I could find.
