Hi Boris,
It's actually a very good result for those non-archival CD-blanks.
I burned my first CDs at 1994 and all of 'em are in very good shape. It
seems that we had the very first CD-burner here in Estonia - an external
1x speed Pinnacle SCSI device. That time there was no "blue" media, the
"golden" ones were "noble"... and damn expensive. I should have one or
two unused golden blanks still somewhere, but modern drives are not able
to write to 'em.
BR, Margus

Hi!
Some 8 years ago I converted some of my CDs to MP3 and burned them
onto CDs for sake of listening away from home, etc. Today finally one
of these CDs bit the dust. It is marked "Feb 2002" so that it is
likely almost exactly 8 years old. Since the time it's been burned, it
was stored on the shelf, used in my office, thrown around at least two
company cars(*) that had MP3 capable CD player, etc. Pretty tough
little fellow, that CD was...
It is worth mentioning here that it was made by Verbatim and has very
noble and very deep bluish tint with so many a scratch on its working
surface...

(*) Of course it was thrown around without any reasonable protection,
a box or a sleeve...
