indeed, when I used CD-RW, I found they worked muhc better if you fully
erased them before reuse. I decided they weren't worth the hassle, and
due to how cheap CD-R (and now DVD-R) media is, I've never bothered with
the -RW stuff since. for reuse, I am more inclined to use a USB flash
memory.
I also had a lot of issues with CD-RW media not being as reliable to
read as -R on a wide range of readers, I don't know if this applies to
DVD-RW or not, but I've had enough issues with DVD_R media being hard to
read on the slimline DVD drives many servers have that I don't want to
push my luck.
