Thats my understanding, I just bought it from a local place called Tapewarehouse. Ive bought stock from them for years, so the 400 cdrs cost me $40ish.

Re: Death of the CD-R
I have a large collection of CDs that I keep adding to on a regular basis. I burn at least a hundred CDs every year for friends and for personal use. If the CD-R dies, it's not my fault.
Oh also, it might only hold 700MB, but blank CDs these days are about 20 cents.

In adding Linux to an older computer, I found out I needed a CDR unless I wanted to see if the motherboard could handle a DVD-ROM that still required a PCI slot for decoding.
Thanks to Mr.Popo for shipping me some CDRs.
(Also, anyone want a DVD-ROM with PCI hardware decoder card?)

My scheduling skills have died of dysentery; I hope to visit at least on a monthly basis.
Still, don't forget to tip your waitress.

Re: Death of the CD-R
I love and still use CDs for three reasons:
1. A great way to physically own music
2. CD music is slightly better sound-quality-wise than MP3s
3. How else am I supposed to make back-up copies of games, play homebrews on CD systems, etc.?
