Hi Graham,

   They *should*.  :)  That said, I'm sure there will be problems.

   Generally speaking, any drive manufactured within the past six years
   or so will support these discs, so most folks should be OK.

   What I'll probably do is enclose a small set of directions with the
   CD to quell any fears by reticent customers.  

   I still feel that the novelty factor (and resulting extra attention)
   is worth the risk.  Ask me again in June.  :)

Chris
