As I said, I'd already burned several of the HP labeled CMC's with data to the 650+ meg mark at 20x without any noticible errors, recoverable or otherwise. I burned another 10 today without a single error. Based on that, I bought a couple more spindles, just to use for non-critical discs, e.g. giveaway and throwaway discs. Just for shirts and goggles, I'm going to run a few on my old CDR Diagnostic software ovenight and see the error-count that gets hidden behind the recovery process. Unfortunately, only a very low error rate is helpful in determining longevity and it is not a sufficient measure. Where you need to be sure that the disc will last, T-Y or Mitsui is still recommended. Definitely. I use only Fuji/T-Y for my critical discs. But where I don't need to be sure, media that costs half or less the price of T-Y is easier on the wallet. It will be interesting to see what the true error-rate on the cheap discs is, however. For the record, I have never experienced a failure with the HP/CMC CD-Rs. The only problem I have had is FINDING them at the local Staples. It seems they want to put them in another location and make people hunt for them. This past week, they had them BEHIND the checkout counter, and customers had to ask for them. This is really irritating, Staples!! |

Yes, smh is a very sick troll. It seems supernews.com ignores complaints.
Take a look at the earthlink.com/ "Cory Seedan" wrote in message ... What the hell has this nonsense to do with my question? Have you been scraping the dye off CDR's and smoking it in an attempt to get high? Apparently it's done you massive and irreversible brain damage instead. It might be helpful for you to consult a physical ans psychiatric MD in order to determine which types and dosages of medications that will stabilise what is left of your mental faculties. You should also consider getting off the computer and use the money you pay for internet service to cover the health insurance copayment. You're _seriously_ ill, Mr. Hong, but medical science may yet allow you to lead a somewhat normal and productive life -- if you act quickly to get help to undo the worst of the dye poisoning and resulting psychotic symptomatology. --corey- On Mon, 04 Oct 2004 13:15:28 -0700, smh wrote: . -------------------------------------- Mike Richter, were you born with "Scam Artist" emblazoned on your face? -------------------------------------- (Mike Richter, any Material Connection w/ Roxio?) http://makeashorterlink.com/?A3ED13E69 ( No Pipsqueaks have been able to prove ANY of the above is a LIBEL ) ( -- despite Mikey claimed to have proof of misquotes !! ) Mike Richter (Roxio ****) splattered: snip Got no time to respond to this, Mikey? ======================== From: Curtis Croulet Subject: had it with DirectCD Date: 9/22/04 Message-ID: Mike Richter (Roxio ****) splattered: try providing some usable information - OS, what kind of write you're doing, what error messages you get. ======================== |

I was told today at my Staples -- where I've had very, very reliable
service over the years -- that HP was about to come out with a huge new shipment of new discs and so the big dump oc these CMC's is under way. Said they had very low return rate. I worked with HP for a long time and though they are a pretty weird company in some respects, they have been trying hard over the past year or so to improve quality at all levels so maybe the discs are ok. At $7.50 they are worth the risk. TommyDale wrote: Cory Seedan wrote in message . ..
