    in PC world sligo a few days ago, i saw a spindle of 50 for €18.99. Verbatim brand.

    way cheaper to get a pack of 50 though i saw a pack of 25 somewhere for €9.99 i think in some shop in galway. sorry but i just can't remember the name of the shop i got them in.

    Tevion great make using a 19'' hd tevion computer monitor/telly as a monitor and tv in the bedroom for the past 2 years had no problems with it so far. as far as i heard aldi an lidal well anything made in germany has to have a set standard in build quality were as china can slap them together.

    This may be just me, but i find that lower quality cds tend to fail more. If you burn them at lower speeds they work just fine though so i assume same goes for dvds. Just a little tip if they start failing.

    True that i wouldn't burn a dvd over 8x usually do a 4x anything over a 8x on a i would sometimes get a bad burn.
