I had an odd occurance tonight, I burned a CD that's all noisy. It
happened twice. The media is rather old and Nero says it is burning at
only 16X.

Could it be that the (Samsung built) HP burner in my computer has problems
with media that's too slow?

The blanks worked OK with my last computer (3 years old) which also had an
"HP" combo burner.

How old is old? Unrecorded CD-R media have a shelf-life estimated at 5 -
10 years. Is this disc close to that?

Probably 5. My guess (which I hoped might be talked about) is that I've
finally bought a burner that can't handle older, slower media. I used one
of these discs before I switched to my new computer last December and it
burned fine, then (on the older burner).
