Posters' Coasters - CD-R Records/stories/etc.

[cheatengine]

I've been thinking lately about how CD-Rs are a limited resource that are pretty easy to squander. Especially if you're like me and you use burning/labelling discs to procrastinate. Burns go bad, wrong images get chosen, etc.

So I thought I'd look at how everyone else uses their spindles. How many successful? How many UNsuccessful? I'm not saying make an exhaustive list like I did, but just share some of your stories or something.

The current record of my own spindle is below:

Most of my failed discs were the result of rough handling with a pen... I have since stopped using pens.
