The original CDR spec was about 650 MB, same as audio CDs -- any CD reader or writer can use those. Now most blank CDRs I see are 800 MB, and 900MB are available for a little more. These might not be compatible with your hardware, and the burning software needs to be aware of these sizes too, but they're cheap enough to just give them a try. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
