    Who cares how long they last.
    And why use that type of media?
    As cheap as blank CD-Rs are(<1&#036; ea), you can just throw them away(or recycle) as you use them.

    You can burn stuff on your re-writible an infinate amout of times.

    ... Or at least until they are all old and scratched up and your CD-Rom can&#39;t read even read the damn thing.

    Freak, I stated less than a dollar.
    Anything under a buck is cheap to me.
    I got a j-o-b.

    And Krackhead2k, you cannot write an infinite amount of time to a CD-RW.
    And it has nothing to do with scratched plastic. Scratches can be polished out. There is a degradation that occurs to the substrate of the media. It just cannot hold it&#39;s "shape" (for lack of a better word) after so many times. Eventually you will have corrupted sectors the just aren&#39;t readable. For that reason, and the aforementioned low cost of CD-Rs, they, are the best alternative when backing-up or saving files.

    No offense intended guys.
