Today I bought a pack of blank, recordable DVD discs. I got them home and went to open one. As I struggled with the obnoxious packaging everyone loves to hate, it suddenly occurred to me — wait a minute, wasn’t this Fort Knox plastic wrap supposed to make it hard to steal CDs and DVDs with recordings on them? Why do I need to fight for five minutes to open the packaging on a BLANK disc? The disc itself is worth less than a dollar!
