CD-Rs

[Maurice Murphy]

Thanks, Gord. I guess I just hit a bad one, Staples CD that is! Trying

I have no problem with DVDs. Thanks again for your quick answer, Maurice

PS As I live in Ottawa, a quick trip to downtown Toronto, even 
College/Spadina, is a little beyond my reach at the moment. Who would 
want to live in Toronto anyway? :-) :-) :-)
