CDR versus CDRW
Is it true that CDRs are more durable, and much more
scratch-resistant, than CDRWs? Is it also true that CDRs are generally more readable by various consumer-level electronics than CDRWs? |

Mike Richter, were you born with "Scam Artist" emblazoned on your face? -------------------------------------- http://groups.google.com/groups?selm...mindspring.com (Messages 10, 12 -- 34, 54 -- 69) ( No pipsqueaks have been able to prove ANY of the above is a LIBEL ) ( -- despite Mikey claimed to have proof of misquotes !! ) ' Opticreep wrote: Is it true that CDRs are more durable, and much more scratch-resistant, than CDRWs? Is it also true that CDRs are generally more readable by various consumer-level electronics than CDRWs? Just don't confuse 'less readable' with 'unreadable'. A well-known troll intimates: CD-RW is less reliable than CD-R, thus CD-RW is unreliable. ' =================================== Did Mikey coin the term "erasable"? =================================== ===================== From: Mike Richter (Slimeball) Date: 5/17/02 I refer to "erasable" ===================== How come you no longer use "I refer" after (5/17/02)? Would that have anything to do with my pointing out these at that time? ----------------------------- (From old cdrfaq) A related technology called CD-E (CD Erasable) is expected to be available in late 1996. [Note: It was recently decided to call this technology "CD-Rewritable" instead of CD-Erasable" -- kwc] ----------------------------- Subject: [2-12] How does CD-RW compare to CD-R? CD-RW is short for CD-Rewritable. It used to be called CD-Erasable (CD-E), but some marketing folks changed it so it wouldn't sound like your important data gets erased on a whim. ----------------------------- Erasable CDs are a go, compatibility to come later October 23, 1996 The newly standardized CD-Rewritable format, known until a month ago as CD-Erasable ----------------------------- |
