Howdy! Adam,

After I put photos on a disk I made for someone I Finalize it so they
can see the photos.

Thanks for the comment about -R discs being troublesome, I've been
using either type and wanted to know if the - or + type DVD was better
for some purpose.

I'm glad I dragged my feet before buying this XP box in 2006, because
the Optical Drive in it can burn both - or + DVD's plus DL discs too.

I'd hate to be on the Bleeding Edge and had bought the original DVD
burner made for the - type disc only.

I try to stay away from the Bleeding Edge, but I was caught when I paid
$900+ for a HP 4c Scanner to use on a 486 computer w/ Windows 3.1
in the late 1990's.

I can buy more than a dozen All In One printers/scanners for that much
money now.

I do appreciate all those who purchased the early computer gear and
made life easier for the people who buy and use them now.
