No sooner did I click on SEND than I was looking through Micro Mart magazine and saw that a company called Media Madness are selling them for 30p each 100 on a spindle, or 35p each for 100 in plastic sleeve, both unbranded 16x speed. I've had pretty hit and miss results with cheap unbranded CDs on my present recorder - most have been quite OK, a few just wouldn't work with my machine, but gave some of those to others and they worked OK on a different recorder. Seems that certain brands work better on certain recorders, at least I presume it's some feature of the hardware or software on the computer they're written on, not anything to do with the QXL.WIN QL cds I create. The recorder concerned is just a simple basic 4x speed rewriter and I always make sure the CDs are recorded at a speed they are described as being suitable for. Hardware wise, there are some pretty good recorders out there now with features like burn-proof writing, 16x and 24x write (Phil Jordan had one of those at the Hove workshop and it was impressive) at reasonable prices. You know what I'm leading up to: when do I get an SMSQE driver for QPC to write my CDs?!?! Oh, speaking of "when do I get...", anyone heard from Jonathan Dent recently regarding soql TCP/IP and its progress (or lack of)? -- Dilwyn Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.soft.net.uk/dj/index.html
