We truly don't know yet. 2 or 3 years? It's 20 or 30 years I'm worried about.
I follow the same lesson I learned from my Tape trading days. I paid a little extra for Maxells and 20 years later they still sound good. (properly cared for of course) Cheaper tapes (Memorex,etc.) turned to dust years ago. I think it's worth a few extra bucks just for the peace of mind. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brad Wolf" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, March 04, 2002 7:29 PM Subject: [etree] CDR Tie-Up > First off, I want to say thanks for all the advice I recieved from all the > etree people... > > but I'd also like to say this...i've been trading and burning for about 2-3 > years now and I haven't ever paid attention to where the discs were made up > or the brand name until about 10 months ago.
