John, this may be old information as I have'nt used RW for some years now,
but when I did use them then what it does was do "Hide" any erased data but
it could not remove it.  In effect this means that your AVAILABLE CD space
gradually diminished.  Ie, start off with 650Mb.  Save a 50Mb file, then
Delete it, then space available on the now blank CD was 600Mb.
As I say, this may not be the case these days, but worth checking.

Yep, that's what it means.  They are rewritable.

So does that mean that given my experiment, I could entirely fill an R/W DVD
then erase it all and fill it with something else, just like a hard disk or
(remember when) floppy? If so, then I'd better invest in a dozen or so R/Ws,
and fast!
