Oh kg_evilboy...I would have kept those a secret

I think what you meant to say is: Oh yes, I've gotten rid of all my friends by giving them my 25 RITEK G05.

That is the funniest thing I've read all day

You mean T02 (+Rs)? If so, I'm gonna mug you if you ever hit the UK

and I thought 1500 MIJ dvd blanks were a lot?

There are actually plenty of legit reasons for using a lot of media. Beyond those that are mentioned, I have over a terabyte of hard drive space and while I'm really slack about backing up, whne I do, I don't trust -rw's, and just use dvd+r's. I have an old book of cd's (maybe 200 cause its full), of all my old music, and while some wont play because they are scratched, some will not play. rip, read or anything because of age. I of course have other cd's but these are the ones that are dead and probably unrecoverable. I wont let the saem happen with my dvd's. I have backups and with more liked movies, double backups. I have a huge colection of tv shows (might have bit torrented a few to fill in missing eppisodes), and it is growing fast. 4 eppisodes per disk, the usage adds up fast. Also, like Arachne pointed out, we have a variety of disks for diffrent drives. I would go further and say that I actually enjoy burning and testing various disks with various drives and firmwares etc. I have a very wide variety (in smaller quantities) of many diffrent medias from that. While I really don't have time for that much anymore (still havent flashed my 740 to a 1640 and have had it for months), I still occationally play a little. I just bought a 5 pack of jvc, made in china 16x media for 3.20$. The 8x made in china jvc disks were by far the most horrible disks I have ever experienced (makes princo look like ty), so it was just morbid curosity and only 5 disks. Unfortunatlly none of my drives even recognises it (8x is the best that came up).
There are lots of reasons for so much media and of course the biggest, is that I am a saleaholic. I cannot resist a too good to pass up deal on media, weather I need it or not.

Yeah, you've almost run dry there, zevia.
I suggest you hurry to your nearest media shop in the morning and get some more media!

LOL zevia. You forgot to put quantity 200 each by every MID.

think bigger

http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/5...n3large5vd.gif

zevia, I say you dont have enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I can send you a few if you like....You dont have every media code made yet..... Nice list though (fyi credit to zevia, sorry to emabrse you), credit where credit is due. All the html I use was originally written by zevia. He helps with the ads every week!!!!!!!!!!

Oh zevia - that's a pitiful amount, aren't you feeling the squeeze yet? Just kidding, that's some serious media...props to you!

Methinks you need more

I remember a picture of OC-Freak's "test lab" in LiteOn forum 1 or 2 years ago (can't seem to find it now ). That was a nice place with a lot of discs. Wish i had an office like that

didn't anybody stockpile tyg01's

I used all mine before I knew what they were (Panasonic branded). I do have 9 or so YUDEN000 T01s though.

I bought 200 before I really got into scanning, when I found out they were the best media I have ever seen, they were long gone. I thought 99's were the rule not the exception. I gave some away!

after all they were value second class media

Haha, I gave some away as well - my neighbour had some Philips C08s that he didn't want (he prefers - media), so I traded my TYG01s for his C08s.

If I knew then what I know now...LOL

Hey xtacydima:

Do those old school 6x TDK cd-r's still burn well? They must be at least 8 years old right?

HAHA, Yes I was just typing fast it is T02 and all are +R's... but if I ever come to the UK I doubt I would bring them so if you decide to mug me you really won't get much more than a few bucks, a nice Nike watch, and my pants.

Why yes they do, to this day I am more than convinced they are more solid than anything else ever made in terms of CD-R then and even now. Actually, my burner now burns them better than my old, old, old Samsung 6x burner did at the time.

I get them from a supplier in Japan but after shipping and the rate at $1 per disc it's quite costly at near $2 per disc. I use these to store my most valueable music and basically treat them as gold, just like an original. I kick myself now for at one point using them for throw away data... now replaced by the generic silver non-brand name cd's.

As Geno would say...Doh! That's still a seriously nice amount of T02s you have though ...3000...*droooooooooool*
