Hi Todd -
gee - how do you really feel about this? No - no extra credit for long posts.
You may be TOTALLY right about the economic line of thought. But I could not find anywhere on the Sharpie site that specifically stated that it was OK to use their markers on CD's. Wouldn't it make economic sense to them to come out and state it is ok? (Unless they have a "CD Safe" marker?)
Ok - I guess we are all agreed:
Labels on Ridgeline CD's = Bad
Sharpie markers on CD's = Do what you want.
And Todd, they made video tape that long ago? You're really that old? I thought LadyRidge robbed the cradle w/ you! Di you lug around the camera on your shoulder and the recorder an a dolly? Do you still have your reel-to-reel tapes? How about 8-track?
