We had a flame war about that here about a year ago. We now know that... Our right-wing faction will fight to the death to preserve their right to use pens with petroleum-distillate solvents. Tom's theory is that using an ink with a strong solvent will soften the plastic, making it more permeable to "bad things" in the air. Different people have different results with such disks depending on the disk's exposere to "bad things." This inconsistent reports about long-term problems. Tom uses Staedtler CD-R pens, which are made in Germany. He bought his at Staples. They cost the same as Sharpies. ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
