Does anyone know the origin and intended purpose of the write protect tabs on that back of CD caddies? It would be handy if CD-R drive manufacturers were to implement support for this since you could save yourself from those recording packages that start a write after a test without permission. My experience is that no drives recognize the presence or absence of the tabs. Anyone know different? That's my thought practically, but I am really looking for background on the origin of the tabs. What were they thinking? Thanks, BOB
