You have to be careful when writing on the coated side else you'll ruin the disk. Apparently the layer written by the CD-R is just under the top coating. Felt tip pens are OK. Anything sharp is sure to ruin the disk (I ruined the first bootable FreeBSD install disk I made, worked great before I wrote on it). It appears the top surface is more delicate than the bottom. Anyone have any advice about inkjet CD printers? Most appear to be modified Epson Stylus 600's and 800's. Any chance one works with Ghostscript? -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
