The most important things are the hardest to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them-words shrink things that seemed limitless when in your head to no more than living size when they're brought out. But it's more than that, isn't it? The most important things lie close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you've said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while saying it. That's the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a teller but for the want of an understanding ear. - Stephen King, intro to "The Body."

Re: Optiarc AD-7200A/S Results & Discussion

I went to officemax and got 2 20pks of MKM001 MIS and used a modded=(No expire date-Paint) $15.00 off coupon so I got 40 MKM001 for $41.00 so now I am dying to burn some and my 7200 with using MKM002 strat for MKM001 (Renaming not just swapping) is burning these very well at 8x and keeping up to speed through the whole burn.
as soon as I hook my 1640 back up I will again include BenQ scan w/jitter

TDK +R 16x @ 18x

One small slowdown but a great burn from a mediocre media.
