| Yep, I think it is always good to keep these. Maybe we will have better testing methods available in the future, so we can re-test more accurately.

| I have a couple thousand sitting here, don't ask me why.  |
| A couple thousand - Dear GoD! Assuming a minimum of $.30/per that is a lot of $$$

I've burned around 700 dvds only and about 15% of them are test disks.

| I burn very few test discs these days. Since I went over to the dark side and got a couple NEC burners, the need for testing has dropped considerably.  I burn maybe 8 DVD's a week these days, movies mostly and a lot of those on RW discs. I think I might have burned a few hundred just on testing this POS LiteOn burner before I gave up on using it to burn anything, But then I was testing on it before most people knew it was around and the firmware was pretty crude. |

| I've kept every disc, CD and DVD, I've ever burned (except for those given away to friends and family)... even including all coasters. Don't know why, because I've never gone back to them.

| I usually keep them a few days in case I need retesting - then I throw them away. If I had kept all test discs I've written it would have been quite a pile. I'm guessing it's around 4000-5000 discs tast discs that I've written the last 1,5 years.

| By test discs, what I normally do is have 1 movie, and burn it. I then scan, I keep all the discs, so I must have about 40 copies of this movie now. Ben
