I used to use the labels and about the same time I started hearing about
potential problems, I had a disk with a label that just fell off.
Fortunately it was not in a drive when it happened. Now I have a big stack
of those labels collecting dust. The few disks that I do burn these days
have the contents written on a paper sleeve. I do have to make some backup
disks soon and I'm going to try the LightScribe feature.

I've heard bad things about using Sharpies and the ink being absorbed into
the layers of the disk. I know they make special markers for disks. Once
again tho, there are going to be people who say "I've used Sharpies for
years and haven't had any problems."

I'm one of them.

Been burnin' since the first burner became available and nary a
problem.

I rarely burn anything other than backup discs of software any more.
