Good News For Cdrw Users

[George]

Verbatim has just marketed a CDRW in their DataLife Plus series that is rated at 16X24 and supposed to retail @ $1.49 per disc, with a lifetime guarantee. Thought I'd pass it on.

Just got an update from Verbatim on the faster CDRW. It should be available by the end of this month starting with BUY.COM...Also checked with Plextor and found the writing speed of CDRW may not be the full rated speed of the burner. Found that My 16/10/40 will not write CDRW at 16, but at 10, which still is 2 1/2 times faster that the present 4X.
