26983	2001-12-08 07:20:00	Ive recently purchased a CD- writer and i'm wondering if someone can tell me what cd-r disks i should use? Ive read somewhere that some brands(article was not specific)are only good 4 coasters or turn into coasters after a short period of use. So can someone please recommend to me a good reliable brand and at what price i should be paying for them.	Guest (0)

They have given me very little trouble compared to the expensive brand name ones, I estimate 1/2 doz. failures out of a couple of hundred burns. It is just a matter of trying different brands until your writer finds one it likes.	Guest (0)

Kodak has not worked for me, no errors in writing or afterwards with either compared to the high failure rate I had with Kodak which I tried early on. Find a brand that works for you and go with it. Depends on where you live but Chch, verbatims can be as low as $14 box of 10 or $20 box of 10 of 700mb disks.	Guest (0)
