I had whined once about this, and yes, in fact my stack of old media is all 650MB and it was the biggest problem for me. Also my old CD burner started being flaky so I said screw it and I got a new Plextor drive. Both my Windows and Linux machines burn fine with 700MB media. Windows XP Home just works with no extra burning software. The only catch is still it seems CD1 wants to be burned very slowly no matter what. Any thoughts there while we're at it ? -AEF
