Well,there are some older cd-rom drives that use cartridges,but that does not mean the disc itself is  a cart. It s a different type of medium. It uses a laser and pits on a reflective layer and plastic. Now your becoming extremely confused. If you ate better this wouldn't happen. See the wonders of how well fed people think the clearest. Theres clearly a reason why Buddha is depicted as wise and all knowing after his starving journey to enlightenment,because hes happy and well fed. The skinny starving years of Buddha were full of confusion and inner conflict until he discovered food is good. Follow the path of Buddha,eat.

Ha Rag,you edited your post. I guess you clearly came to your senses and realized theres nothing in any dictionary definition stating compact disc are cartridges,and hit that edit button double fast. Priceless. Oh well,Im well fed,happy,and now sleepy. Time for bed.
Seems according to Sinistron's definition, CD's can "most certainly" be considered cartridges...

That's not why I deleted my post... I felt as I was typing it that you were just trolling, trying to coax more responses out of me seeing as how you were making mock of my diet, which is based on my religion, more than you were discussing the topic.  [-(

Priceless. Lest be clear on this,even one of the greatest plotters and thinkers of all time,Yogi Bear,knew that food was essential to happines and overall well being.

Yogi Bear would never ever confuse a cd-rom disc for a cartridge,let alone state a hu-card is anything but a cartridge.
See,the only one ever able to really foil Yogis plots was Ranger Smith,and only because he had easier access to food and clearly wanted to steal it all for himself.

Ha ha you quoted my removed and revised post,thus making you a double poster,silly silly man. Religion or not,anyone willing to starve themselves to confusion and unhappiness will clearly get my scorn,so you can go play that "making fun of my religion" victim harp somewhere else. I dont care what religion you practice. And for that matter Mr. Pot calling the Kettle Black,I remember not so long ago you bringing up personal matters on Sinis side as ammo for your argument here. Id say you starving yourself is just as personal as Sini smoking,ect... Cant handle the heat??? Then get out of the kitchen. You obviously don't like kitchens anyway.... [-X
Oh well,Im well fed,happy,and now sleepy. Time for bed,for serious this time.

That's funny.

When I was at the supermarket the other day I tried paying with my Genpei Toumaden card. The cashier just looked at me funny and started snickering. I was embarrassed and confused.

You guys told me it was a card, right?

Serously.  They're not even good 'fer playing poker.  They don't have any suits on 'em!

Even though Genpei Toumaden is clearly a 'Joker'

That's hilarious. Next time I cross the border I'm going to try using Galaga '90 as my passport.

It's a card alright, but that one in particular won't get you far. You can't pay with a valueless card, you know. Next time, try paying wih Ankoku Densetsu...worked for me.

Voted "not a cart"

To me carts have pcb that are sperate from the shell/casing and are easily removed.


If there wasn't a difference my camera would use memory cartridges8-[

I'm not a huge fan of TechWeb (unsubscribing from their insidious web of email communications is a nightmare) but their TechWeb encyclopedia has some content which does not suck.

They define a cartridge as:

"A removable storage module that contains magnetic disks, optical discs, magnetic tape or memory chips. Cartridges are inserted into slots in the drive, printer or computer."

If I put on my Tool Hat and go by this definition, a HuCard quite easily meets the cartridge standard. It is a removable storage module and it contains memory chips. It is also inserted into a slot in the PC Engine, which fully qualifies as a computer (if someone starts arguing semantics with me over the term computer you get smacked with the Flaming Web Troll stick).

It's clear most of the plastic of the HuCard is simply something to hold on to, to give it form and substance, and is thus a container, holding the usually quite small memory chips that contain the game.

Frankly, I don't mind wearing the Tool Hat on this one. The TechWeb definition is quite specific and, IMO, accurate.
