Don... Looks like you are are in the same predicament. DVD is in the same phase as VHS and Beta. DVD+ and DVD- are the same battles. -Ed- BTW...Did you catch Live 8 down New Brunswick way. It's nice a world can connect...and think close to what should be done. -Ed- Tel-Tek Electronics Ontario-Canada teltek3@xxxxxxxxxxxx teltek@xxxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: techassist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:techassist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Don Hartigan Sent: Saturday, July 02, 2005 6:21 PM To: techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [TechAssist] Re: MY VCR PARTS ARE NOT FEELING THE LOVE! For those of you who may be considering to do some copying,remember the following; 1-Use only brand name disc's.. 2-Use CD-R;not CD-RW.. 3-Store your disc's in a jewel case.. 4-Store in a vertical position.. 5-A dark cool area is best.. 6-Never mark the disc with a felt tip pen;the ink can penatrate into the disc! 7-Instead mark the jewel case.. CD-RW have a shelf life of approx. 20 to 100 years. CD-R have a shelf life of 50 to 200 years. For imporant data copy every 1 to 2 years.
