Thankyou to those who responded to my query re cheaper DVD-R media. I have visited the recommended site and although the discs are well priced the minimum freight charge for an international order is $US42. I had a similar experience recently when endeavouring to order the forthcoming iLife book by Jim Heid. In that case the freight was $US30 (for a $US20 book). I finally ordered the book from Amazon where the book price was the same and the freight was $US11. It seems that most mail order houses do not want to be bothered with international sales. Getting back to DVD-R media; I decided to use the Google search facility in Safari and managed to locate a warehouse in Canberra A.C.T. (Technology Warehouse Australia) which had 50 disc spindles for $A152. This price incs. freight. The brand is "MAXMAX" ...........has anyone had any experience with these? Ian Tucker.
