Hi Everybody, I don't burn a lot of CDs. I have had this spindle of Philips CD-Rs 52x for maybe 7 or 8 years and never used even half of them. It seems that in the rare event that I do use them I burn a *lot* of coasters before I ever get a good one.
Tonight I used a Staples CD-R to burn something for a friend and it worked on her CD-R the first time. I then burned 5 coasters trying to make a second copy for me before I gave up. Her CD-R was fine, mine all failed! I know, woman's rights and all that. Is it possible for a batch of CD-Rs to be mostly all bad? Of course, they lived in the back of my truck for maybe 50,000 miles over 5 years. Maybe I ruined them going over bumps? They *look* OK . . . I shared a few with my Linux buddy and he says he has to burn them really slow or they will coaster on him. Mine coaster slow or fast. Maybe I should buy a few from Staples like the lady does? -- Regards, Pete http://pete-theisen.com/ http://elect-pete-theisen.com/ _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
