Re: [CGUYS] Apple Runs Out of iPads
As you read here... nobody will want one. Can you find a post that actually says this? I remember a good deal of yawning, but I don't remember any posts saying that nobody will want one. It's shiny. It's made by Apple. Everybody will want one. (But it's always interesting to note how significant you think sales figures are--unless they're Microsoft's.) * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

Quoting mike xha...@gmail.com: I'm still trying to figure out who said nobody would want one. Everyone knows the apple sheeple ordered two the moment pre orders were put up. That was my thought, too. Most of the dissenters were more about not for me, and, I don't see it as being that big a deal. Of course, I'm still waiting for all the Windows 7 hatred that Tom predicted.

Re: [CGUYS] what DVD-R to buy
That's why I use lightscribe: to make clients happy. When I do the inevitable second pass, registration can be slightly off, and the software is buggy, often quits. A nice idea, but unrealised: should have ability to print on white, instead of that off-putting gold color - or worse; should be able to print a fulsome label in shorter than 21 minutes. Hope an improvement is down the road... I don't like lightscribe except for disks going to clients. Makes them happy.

Re: [CGUYS] what DVD-R to buy
I don't do lightscribe. I have two Epson printers that will print on CD/DVD's that are printable. (inkjet) Once I burn (I typically print first for large batches) I stick it in the printer, and print within 5 minutes. I have a lightscribe external but never use the lightscribe feature.

Re: [CGUYS] Apple Runs Out of iPads

Re: [CGUYS] what DVD-R to buy
Not too bad. Depends on quality of ink you use. They are not real heavy color like a pro printed CD/DVD. But they have worked for me. The ones that I have that are 5 years old still look like they did the day I printed them. All depends on medium (quality of surface) Ink and image.
