| 94228 | 2002-10-29 09:51:00 | skc from the warehouse and woolworths are cheap and reliable $12-14 for a 12 pack Melody From dick smith, warehouse and warehouse stationary $10 for a 10 pack are also very reilable For bulk cd buying several small comp stores sell attera media cdrs $35 for 50 , $55 for 100. I use them regularly and while NO cdrs are 100% reliable all the above usually give 95% success rate if You have a decent burner. Avoid Transonic from the warehouse and mr data from warehouse stationary. you can get good batches of these but who wants to gamble ? By the by, Melody cdrw are my prefered choice. They have never failed me yet. |

Melody CDRW can't fail, they can be re-written again and again.:D so can all the other cdrws, {(i don't mean to be sarky):)} (in theory they only last for 1000 rewrites, as time progresses the limit on a cdrw shortens, e.g a 700mb CDRW, in 1 yr wil become around 670MB limit (after buring quite alot).it will get smaller and smaller till u get to the point u have to throw it away. cheers, v.K |

Thank you for expanding my technological horizons to greater heights of understanding {(i don't mean to be sarky) By the by I should have clarified that i prefer melody cdrw as a reliable,economical choice for non- archival, mission critical backups of data that is able to be modified,erased and reused (up to the point your odometer reaches 999 burns and then u toss the sucker out) |
