$.15 a CD!. And we're out of blanks anyway. Um, time to stock up.

(No, not brand loyal about CD-R, especially since I tend to use them like I used to use floppys, just as convenient ways to get items from computer A to computer B without worrying about the network).

do you know this brand to be reliable? I have a friend who tells me that CD-Rs are very tetchy and you need to buy a trusted brand...?

I'd just be concerned about the speed rating. I've tried to use 1x disks in a 4x burner and 16x in a 40x burner and that is where you get unreliable burns.

Well, for long-term stuff, I'd go for a brand I'd heard of (although I suspect that, as with gasoline, it's often the same stuff underneat it all). But CDs are practically disposable media for me, and having access to cheap ones that only need to work a handful of times is just fine. At $.15 a pop, I won't worry as much about wasting them.

That's a great deal, but I prefer paying 35 cents for blank dvds ;) More data stored/moved. I goto http://www.shop4tech.com for my stuff. They seem pretty good.

The only problem is that 'song's Emac and Elayna's iMac don't have DVD drives.

Thanks for the link -- they've got 100-count CD spindles for $16, so even after the Amazon deal ends, it'll be nice to have access to cheap media.
