DON'T BUY GIGASTORAGE OR CURSOR 80 min CDRs

[Wayniac]

Some of these manufacturers should be shot.

I can understand one or two giving a bit of grief, but when you've invested this much money and time into something you at least expect to see some return.

Some of these manufcaturers know only too well, that discs are going to be coasters before they even get used. Iv'e boought Mirror discs on several occasions, and each time out of 25 Iv'e had at least 3 go bad: some crack easy; some flake on the surface and make a mess, and some just simply fail.

The price difference isn't that great between the cheapest discs and quality, branded media in the UK - BUT you have to get them from the right place, ie a computer market:

I managed to get some 16x Verbatim 80min for 40p/57cents U.S, at a fair in Wolverhampton, UK. They also had tons of other discs made by different manufacturers, ie 16x Philips premium silver for 50p each.

At least by bringing you experiences to the public eye, some of these manufacturers will actually start giving a damn about the products they shovel out.

All the best.

Bye.
