The lightscribe burner came with the new desktop system I bought, so i
bought some disks and tried it out...

As far as I'm concerned, it entirely satisfied my primary purpose for using
it--making a list of the tracks on the CD so I don't need to physically
write them out on the disk. I could care whether it took 23 minutes, 2
minutes, or 123 minutes to do this--I'm not part of the A.D.D. generation--I
learned a long time ago the world will turn at it's own pace, not the one I
expect it to.

And c'mon, don't be so anal retentive--worry more about your fingerprints on
the OTHER side of the disk where the actual content is, rather than a little
smudge on the label side...
