 IOW, *SOME* DVDs can be erased. Saying DVDs can't be erased
 means no DVD can be erased. Logic 101.

 Irrelevant to the discussion.

 RC> In this context, Mimi was correct..

 In many contexts she may be correct, but we were talking about
 recording TV programs. In that context she was incorrect. Just
 plain wrong.

 RC> The DVD that my copy of Vista came on, cant be erased.

 Don't try to record a TV show on it then.

 RC> The copy of Ubuntu Linux I burned to disk, cant be erased.

 I have only your word for that. I have burned OS's to CDRWs.
 Making Live CDs I don't plan to keep. Maybe Damn Small Linux.

 RC> She is only incorrect if she used the word all.

 No, she is incorrect because she did not use the word "some". In
 the context of recording TV programs to DVD she was wrong. And
 that was the context.
