[LM_NET] HIT: CD or DVD?

[Nancy Dickinson <dickinsonn@K12COFFEE.NET>]

I know everyone saw Shonda Brisco's answer to my question about how to
tell a CD from a DVD. Here are the rest of the suggestions I received. And
thanks to the people who made me feel it wasn't such a dumb question after
all!
----------------------------------

Try the DVD player first since it will probably play a CD.

Some DVD players can play more than one type of disk.  A light will come on
indicating which kind it is.  Your DVD player may do this, too.  Look for
the labeled lights.

There might be a clue in the serial number etched into the center ring. We
use totally bland cd-r discs, and there is a "CD-R" in the middle of
the number. A DVD might be the same.

Related question, were there any accompanying materials and did they
describe the disc?  (Answer-- no accompanying materials, but when I went
back and looked at the website, it did say the kit included a DVD...But I
ordered the kit weeks ago. As my principal says, "I've slept since then!")


Thanks, y'all!
