Hey, 1YP, just what hazardous chemicals are in CDRs? How do they interact in the landfill to release these "toxic" chemicals?

In about a billion years the CD will break down and all the information on it will be leaked out ;)

Not too much besides the fact that it looks different and all the cool kids are using them. =]

They are also better quality and more scratch resistant than any other CD-R's. Think of Sony Playstation games w/ the black coating. They take years of punishment and they still read w/ no problem...even if there are scratches all over them.

Crimazine: You can only burn at the certain speeds supported by your recorder. It has nothing to do with Nero.
