Oooo yah. Used em for band demos

The first CD burner I ever got kept making coasters out of those. after days and days of troubleshooting I found that the thermal expansion in my hard drive was interrupting the writing process. damn thing sounded like a lawn mower

Still have a stack and a burner!!

No xd

Peak experience

Good times, I was partial to Sonys

Nero 🔥 Express 5 🫡

I just threw away a tower just like this...

More of a DVD-RW guy myself 🎩

Still have some - you never know

Yes. Great times. And I think you can still puchase some. And you can even still buy blank Compact Cassettes.

I made some serious money with those back in school.

Doing no screen January for the kids so I bought a CD player for them and have gone through half a tower of these in the last two weeks burning audiobooks for them. We love it. Physical media FTW.

You had to kill all the other apps while Nero Burning Rom was doing its thing so you minimalize (not eliminate 😂) the chance to fuck the disc up..

I ditched a bunch of those over Christmas. I guess I won't be needing Debian 4.0 again. Or my copy of Windows with the product key https://blossom.primal.net/cfcdad609ad817bba882b1647c11bdeee32a01b76db6155e519a377c56992dff.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/80b1818bbeff3d188b0886f48749cd1abc5bb6e40af...

This and a sharpie, and that fat CD organizer. Good times.
