That should make all the difference. having a DVD-R drive at home, and 
a DVD+R drive at work, i have accidentally used the wrong media in the 
wrong drive-it always throws me for a loop =) though the sales rep for 
the machine i use at work (its a FDA registered "medical device") told 
me that they have had hardware failures reported when users tried to 
use DVD-R disks in the DVD+R drives... have never had this happen to me 
though...

also, either media seems to play in either drive as long as the 
session/disk was closed during the writing procedure. (many problems 
with Adaptec's DirectCD/DVD not closing sessions even when you tell it 
to-this results in an unreadable disk on any other system.


hope all works well with the new media!
