Re: Old School

said by ARGONAUT:

I still like having that factory CD in my hands and it's been proven that blank CD-Rs have a shortened lifespan.
Here is how I see it, I can buy 100 CD-Rs for $20. That 5 cents a CD. Now if you have to replace your "factory" (I thought they were all made in factories?) CD, would you rather pay $14.99 again or 5 cents?

I know what you are saying, but the CD's he is talking about have actual physical pits pressed into the CD for the laser to read a 1 or 0, while the CD-R uses a darker region that was "burned" onto the surface and will fade over time. In some tests, under certain conditions, that time is relatively short.

CD-R's are still my best option, but $20 for 100 CD's? You are getting ripped off.
