Depends on the disk. The first disk I burned, which cost something like $10 for the blank, still works, as do the others I burned around that time. I have had discs fail, but they have failed very quickly. I think the only disc I've had fail after a period of times were ones that were badly mistreated. > _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
