I believe this is a pretty biased statement. I've bought some really
great looking American junk. And I've bought some very long lasting
Chinese products. I think it's company based and not nationality based
when it comes to the quality of a product. Maydoff(sp) comes to mind.

I routinely receive client cds that won't play in one drive. I have
two on my machine, but before I give up on a cd I try all the other

Doesn't sound like a good feature. That's confusing , I thought N

How can you tell from the specs whether an N router is single stream or not?

The day Snow Leopard came out, I looked at the compatibility
list, didn't see any deal-breakers for me, and upgraded that day.
Of course, I made very sure that my Time Machine was working
and updated a clone of my hard drive just before upgrading
just to be on the safe side. It was cheap, easy
Is it really true that one should only write on a cd with a marker labeled
CD/DVD marker? The Sharpie I bought for that purpose doesn't really seem any
different than regular Fine and Ultra Fine Sharpies -- just more expensive! :)

make the List Style 1. a. i., no matter how often I select all and select the

Theoretically the CD/DVD markers have a chemical composition which is
more safe in the long term for putting on plastic.

Actually, it's Wrong to hijack other people's topics. You should have
started a thread of your own with this question.
Anyway, a quick correction. The tops of CD's aren't plastic, it's the
actual foil on top. DVDs and BluRays have the foil snadwiched between
plastic.

High end electronics are not made in the USA they are more

Not always. Magnepan for example buys raw materials in the

capacitors in the crossovers are US made. White Bear Lake,
Minnesota.
Thanks John and Tony!
When i load the cd and check the Properties of it on a right click, it shows
all free space too. I know they were on there so maybe i will try it on my

Most annoying thing is that the print options in most programs seem to have
changed and there is no option in the File Menu for making a selection - it
now is all or nothing. We had to update one peice of software.
I think that was a Leopard change, and only in some programs.

Yes, it is very confusing. Single-stream means it is not MIMO. N is
supposed to require MIMO, but vendors got exceptions written into the
standard. I have read that single-stream
