[filmscanners] Re: CD RW Problem

["Arthur Entlich" <artistic-1@shaw.ca>]

Thanks for this.  I will try to do some research to see what the
problems are and why can be done to mitigate them, so I can hopefully
maintain the ones I have already burned.

I have a good supply of Kodak Gold and Gold and silver, so I may have to
move to those next.  I was hoping to keep and sell the gold off them,
when gold goes to $10,000 an ounce ;-)
