And although yes, the CD media used by Music Artists is higher quailty, but they do it in mass bulk. It would only be abother 5c more per CD compared to Vertabrain ($16 for 50). And yes, they have to cover costs, sure. Thats a givin. But, theres a "covering costs" and theres a "over pricing". I was reading an article a while ago (it might be wrong, this was in a magizine btw), they said that for every $25 cd sold, the ARTIST makes $16.

Newb. They CAN'T use verbatim.... google your ass off until you find out how they are made.

Quite obviously you should READ what is said more often .

I said COMPARED. I was making a COMPARISION. Vertabrian are good quality blank CD manafactuers. That cost a bit more then your random chinise brands.

Side note: Vertabrain do make CD's for proper CD manfacturing. Eg, what real CD/DVDs that you buy . Sony does as well, and i THINK HP do as well. Not sure on them though.

I still can't find a way to make your post seem right.... Companies that sell almost any kind of content in cds don't use cd burners...

No, im making a comparision.

Ok lets put it THIS way.

Regular DVD's/CD's cost about 3.125c per disk. The special manfacturing ones cost about 8.125c per disk.

I was giving a comparision to show the "Not that expensive" point.

I'm not sure you get the picture here.

While I realise CDs are slightly expensive, they're not really expensive.

For example, when you buy most new releases from Amazon they're ~£8.99 - this is a price with a low retailer mark-up (shops such as HMV sell them with more of a mark-up).

From that we can safely assume that around £7 is paid by the retailer.

You have to divvy that up, some goes to the artist, some goes to the recording studio, some to the manufacturer.

They're not that expensive.

How much is $25AUD in real money? And why do you lot all use the same damned symbol.

If you are using a clean install of Vista on a laptop that came with Vista, you probably have a lot of bloatware that the company put on there.  This stuff is probably effecting your memmory.  Plus after changing your settings did you do a full restart of your system before quoting the memmory usage?

What's that supposed to mean?! "Real money". And what symbol, $? What's wrong with $!

---

Well, £ is actually worth something . It's clearly obvious that it's British Sterling, because no other popular currency uses that symbol, unlike $ which is used by the Americans, Candians, and you lot.

Actually, looking at it now, $25AUS is roughly £12. If you pay that much for CD online, then you guys do get ripped off.

---

Uh huh. I would think that considering $ is used by more countries it would be considered the true "real money"

A lot of bloatware doesn't even begin to describe it - but this is a clean installation of Vista Ultimate, not of Vista Business. If it were Business my computer would be reset to factory settings and delete the 7 days hard work it took me getting all the operating systems working fine. (stupid recovery disks). So I don't have any bloatware anymore. (that's one of the key reasons I wanted to get Ultimate instead of Business - it didn't matter what version I got, as long as I would be able to format the hard drive and install a nice, clean, fresh installation)

Yeah I did to a restart after changing the settings.

Hmm, well that only leaves one option left....

Are you blind and can only read numbers that are above a certain amount, and if there below that certain amount you then make up in your subconcious them to be higher .

At least screenshot us , Then screenshot what Proccess you have going.

They don't suck. They just need to do better. (going back to office 2007 here) today I found out I can save my own custom templates for text boxes. How cool is that! I would say that Office 2007 could be Microsoft's best designed product yet! (however with one slight improvement - the option of whether to use ribbon or not. That way people such as Cookie who don't like/want to use the ribbon will want to use the product too).

They do. Theres an OFFICALL patch to make it into old school style
