I think the high rate was caused by the visible distortions on the recording surface. And when using a different pack rated at 40x in a 32x burner the reflective layer disintegrated on two disks while they were being burnt. re: The Harvey Norman CDs, they are probably sold out. The Dunedin one sold out almost instantly (I got there at 4pm :-( ).	bmason (508)

The Dunedin one sold out almost instantly (I got there at 4pm Go and have another look and if they are all gone ask them if they are getting any more in. I bought a few packs in the ChCh store several weeks ago and the crate was still there the following week. Then on Monday they still had a crate full. They must have been filling them up as fast as they could because everyone was walking out with an armful of the limit "allowed".	Susan B (19)

SKC from the Warehouse are good in terms of burning, but the reflective surface flakes of very easily. Harvey norman ones are great. I bought some a month or two ago in Dunedin. I then went back a few weeks ago and got some more. Go back to Harvey Normans as I am sure they will have some more soon. Finally - if you need a very good CD-R then a very good compromise between quality and cost would be Emtec. These are very good as the reflective surface is protected on both sides by plastic, not just on the read (bottom) side, and they work out to be about $1.30 each. I have never had one of these fail and I have been using them for my very important stuff for years. G P	Graham Petrie (449)
