| 135705 | 2003-04-15 09:47:00 | I note how many favourable references there are to the Warehouse Transonics. Most references seem to be re writable but do the re-writable ones work just as well for the Transonics and other brands - ie is there consistency in that if the brand is good in one respect is it also good in the other ?? :| |

| 135706 | 2003-04-15 10:09:00 | Transonic gets a few ticks in this thread, but who actually makes them ? The several major factories turn out quite a variety of labels ...and of differing quality, it seems . |
