Sharpies great for anything

With 700s you get closer to the edge so you have a greater chance to loose 
stuff if the edge gets damaged (of course, if you treat them right it 
doesn't matter). I also find it best not to burn a 700 MB CD fuller than 695 
MB (nothing really scientific about it, just doesn't cause any headaches 
with file size & crap like that as 699 MB can).

Ah, the joys of the flush-toilet society. Not to mention that CDs generate 
quite a bit of toxic waste in both their manufacture and disposal.

CD-RWs are actually quite useful and should definitely be part of your 
repertoire. They also allow you to recover from errored burns (not due to CD 
burner or media but to software) much easier since you didn't just create a 
coaster.

HPs are pretty good, as are Samsungs. HP is the defacto standard for 
printers so there is an advantage to going with HP.
