Only 612MB? That's a waste of free 4.1GB in a nice DVD disk. Let me fill it up for you
4.1GB in the 90's? DVD's didn't come out until mid-late 90's and weren't that common. It would likely have been a 700mb CD which were much more common.

I was sure the size of regular CDs were 512MB, which was the reason I said DVD.
It's weird the meme explicitly says CD-ROM and you're talking about DVDs, which are not CD-ROMs
I was pointing DVD out because CDs had 512MB, which are less than 612MB, so that disk must be actually a DVD disk.
Did you know that this information can be easily googled, and you don't have to double down? A writable CD most typically contains between 650 and 700 MB of capacity.
