This article is ridiculous


Paper: recyclable, renewable resource.
CD's : aluminum, plastic. Non-renewable resource. Not to mention the paper that's still used when users of the media guides print them from the cd...
With a price difference of 80,000 dollars, and a savings of at most $3.25/clean, they'd have to clean the ice over 24,000 times just to offset the additional cost; 6.5 years at 10 cleans/day. That thing is also battery powered, and batteries are full of nasty chemicals and the like, plus they evidently break down all the time.
