[AT] Re: thumb drives / now light scribe

[Larry D. Goss]

You can bet the blank disks are not going to be cheap. :-)

I looked at the big newspaper ad from Office Depot this morning.
They're offering desktop or laptop computers for basically $500.  Soon,
it's going to be feasible to simply throw a computer away when anything
goes wrong with it rather than to fuss with any sort of upgrade or
repair.

Hmmmmm,

I think the light scribe drive requires it's own brand/type of CDR.  You

would think they would make them without any markings on the surface. 
Anyway it  is a neat idea and since it is coming installed in a Compaq 
Computer that sells for about $500.00 they must not be expensive.
