There are companies that make CD-ROMs that you can burn yourself that have an area that you can write on (it's a white surface that felt pens can leave a mark on). My company didn't buy them because they were only ~550MB (?) and some other company had 660MB ones that were the same price. I would like to see all companies that make CD-ROMs make the top surface of the CD-ROM something that can be written on. It would make it easier to label what exactly you have. (labeling the box it comes in doesn't work because if you ever put the wrong CD in the wrong box, etc.) I guess that you could have the top surface of the CD-ROM etched, but do you trust they person etching it not to leave finger prints on or scratch the bottom surface? --- ########################################################################## # Garry Garrett, garry@ceco.ceco.com # (Me?
