<div class="IPBDescription">and where can I get good cheap ones?</div> Well, over the course of the last year, I'd say I've used close to 300 CD-R's for various things (pr0n, Operating systems, pr0n, backups, pr0n) But the point is, I've used a lot of CD-R's.

I was just curious how many the average OT poster uses? Also, where can I get a spool of like 100 (or more!) plain (as in no decal) CD-R's?

    I use like 100 CDRs a year. Thats only since I use like 200 DVDRs per year. Its amazing how many discs it takes to record an entire TV series (gogo All In Wonder cards).

    Since I live in Canada there's like 4 places to get CDRs. A major computer store (IE Futureshop/Bestbuy, which are the same company), a small computer store (Compucenter, Compusmart), RadioShack and costco. They all cost pretty much the same here, so I dunno which is best. I generally go for wherever's closest.

    Oh, and I don't recommend the brandless ones. I burned 80 of them about 8 months ago, and a grand total of one works now. No scratches, dust, heat, etc. Just most of the files on them can't be read anymore (they could be read a few months ago). I generally get the memorex ones, since its either that or noname.

    It depends. When I'm backing up my computer I can use a lot, then a month will pass before I need to do so again. I get mine from the campus store (it's the only thing they have at a good price =/) and a 100 pack costs about 25-28 dollars.

    The amount of CD-Rs I use is limited to the amount I have at hand.
