That's fine, but I was specifically talking about +RW or -RW discs, until the
paragraph below. I can't imagine needing rewritables in such large
quantities, nor can I imagine getting them for such good pricesr for the time
being. :)

I've burned the discs at 16X without any errors (using Nero to verify), using
Memorex discs and others, but some of my students have had problems with the
discs in their DVD players. I haven't tried some of the fancier Plextor
Tools testing tools, though. Maybe I'll start playing with that app a bit
