Man I used to burn so many cds back in the day. I remember when I was kid and the first cd-recorders came out, they cost something like 2000 dollars and burnt cds at 1x speed. It would take hours to burn a cd and sometimes they would turn out as duds. The blank discs only held 650 MB (which was quite a bit back then) and were also expensive.
There was also a special type of blank disc, the re-writable blank disc which was something like 10 bucks a pop at future shop.
I had a enterprising career in school at one point burning shared music mp3s that I pulled from Napster and selling them to friends.

- coronadisaster 6y agoI used to have a closet full of 1.44mb disks... Some games took about 50 of them.
- cm2187 6y agoHa ha. I was doing that pre-Napster (I think it was 97 or 98). I would duplicate my schoolmates CDs if they provided a second blank disc for myself, so I could keep a copy if I liked it!
