Dear Ant(Dude):

I am pleasantly surprised that this thread got more than its original 
post, as these newsgroups are inactive! Thanks ever so much for replying!

Good! Do all of them still work? What brands of discs and burners are
they? Are they all gold CDs?

I tend to avoid rewritable discs. Maybe I do not need to be so cautious.

Good advice!

However, I wrote:

Does using a LASER really destroy it?

As that is a response to a long post with many points, I am not sure
what is or are being agreed to! Please clarify.

Also I expressed questions and doubts in this original post. I hope to 
learn.
