I have blanks here ready to go, I paid $20 for three of them a year or two ago, I won't do that again! I just had a look online for blanks and I can get them on sale for $70 (50 2.4x dl). I don't think I'll go for that since I just don't need so many. Have to shop around for better prices on dl media for sure. Maybe a .jigdo for those who want the dl disks would work? > Hmmm...
