I don't really see many 74min only CDRs either unless you get the 'audiophile' type. I'm buying from wholesalers though, but I find it strange your office supply store only had 650Mb ones. -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 9A8C 569F 685A D928 5140 AE4B 319B 41F4 5D17 FDD5
