Fascinating stuff, Jim, and well explained for us less technical collectors. Your paragraph on disk rewrites made me think of something I've brought up briefly in one or more of my columns but never really discussed, which is: Is it okay to rewrite a collectible disk? I personally would say yes, but the last time I was in Europe one of my German collector friends insisted no, that would devalue it in his mind. He even went so far as to say he'd prefer a non-functional but unrewritten disk to a rewrite that worked perfectly. Anybody else have feelings on this? (For the record, I would write in my description that the media was rewritten, just in case it mattered that much to anyone else.)
