You'd think that > they'd be held to truth in advertising on that. There's a fair bit of variation between brands and batches in media size. There is supposed to me a minimum (74 minutes), but it looks like some CD-R media doesn't quite make it. http://www.cdmediaworld.com/hardware/cdrom/cd_cdr_info_fs.shtml > I did find it strange, tho, that our local office supply store and our > local computer store are both only carying 650 M CDRW (that's what > they're labelled anyways) while they almost universally carry 700 M > CDR's. Is there some kind of limitation? Given that CD-RW's are already more marginal then CD-R's I suspect the 80min hack is just too unreliable for most applications. They do exist, just google for "80min cdrw" and you'll get plenty of hits. -- Brooks -- Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
