It’s pronounced Ex-oomer

As someone who worked sales in that time period, yes, it was the younger crowd (Gen X) that adapted much better to burning CDs. A lot of the baby boomers had difficulty with understanding certain key concepts and details. ... And instructions to be honest...

As for the "Boomer" commenter above: the military and government in the USA still burns to CD for a variety of reasons (no, I won't go into them). So if someone is military, a government employee, or even just a contractor, there is a chance that at some point they will need to burn a CD, regardless of age.

It's a gen-x thing, you know, the forgotten generation.

Lived through the "DOUBLE SPEED!!!" reader up to the 52 some read-write-rewrite.

Yet again, GenX is overlooked.

I'm in my 40s now and I definitely did not burn near as many CDs as my dad did (he was born in '49)
