It's amazing just what lengths a company will go to in order to save
them the cost of those couple nickles for the CD media. And we all
know that CDR's we make ourselves aren't as tough as a real pressed
CD, they don't last as long, and aren't as resistant to things like
heat.

Oh well - back to making the recovery CD's. Only have another 2 hours
or so to go...
