@daman1 - just noticed your sig pic & text don't conform.
"If you want to use both text and image in your signature the image should not be more than 500 pixels wide and 100 pixels tall, and you can use up to three lines of text.".

cheers

Yes bc after 3 years of using Memorex, I've rarely run into problems. My first time using Verbatim and the media just gave me nothing but problems with my PS2. I didnt say Verbatim sucks nor would I. Im saying it doesnt work for ME Memorex does and always has. Trying a different brand was an experiment that didnt work out so Im gonna stick to what works for me and thats Memorex

good for you, as long as you realise buying Memorex means you could be using various companies' discs from day to day, so saying you're sticking to Memorex doesn't necessarily mean a lot

for the fear of repeating myself 'good for you'. though Memorex is not something that's good to recommend to others, for the reasons we've already posted
