<P>
This is very off-topic, but I can't help myself :-)

<P>[Steve Underwood]
<BR>
<P><EM>&gt; If you live in a humid place CD lifetime really sucks. A
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; substantial percentage fail quickly, although many last for
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; years. Perhaps that reflects variability in the protective coating
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; process.
</EM><BR>
<P>If you care about your data, you keep the media in a controlled
<BR>
environment. In Hong Kong, that probably means buying an air dryer to
<BR>
keep humidity down.
<BR>
<P><EM>&gt; As you say, the cheap CDRs, now produced by the hundreds of
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; millions in many Asian factories, simply don't work reliably at
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; all. I don't understand why people keep buying them.
</EM><BR>
<P>Most people don't use CDR's for long term storage. They save some new
<BR>
songs for the car, and don't care if it starts skipping after a year.
<BR>
Quite a few people live in less extreme environments than you, too :-)
<BR>
I've never had a CDR fail on me (except outright coasters of course).
