No. If I had, I wouldn't have asked the question. It seems to work,
but can I really count on it?
I am a sample of one (In that happy place that Brooks described as
quadrant 1, where a person writes programs for himself to be run on his
own computer. Or perhaps to be run by a handful of co-workers.) Such a
small sample isn't statistically significant; a 100% success rate
doesn't mean much. I've also never had a burned CD go bad, but I know
that they do.
