Well, not all of them.  Or at least not all of those who have engineering 
degrees.

Another answer is any version of EasyCD/EasyMedia since at least 4.x.  I just 
changed the volume label on a CDR originally written five years ago with 
EasyCD (DirectCD) 4.x under NT4.0 with a drive in a machine running EasyMedia 7.x 
(Drag-To-Disc) under W2K, using Windows Explorer to do the change (from 
Properties).  You have to eject and reload the CD (DVD) in order for the change to 
show up.
