Re: Digital recording

My comments regarding counters in PC burners were based on information from
my PC repair shop. I also have two colleagues whose burners have packed in
as they approached the 1000 CD mark. If any manufacturer can disprove the
presence of a counter then, let's hear from them. I am willing to 
aopologise
if I have forwarded misinformation. I would like to be wrong about this as
it smacks of dishonesty, something we can all do without.
