I was writing video games back then, and we needed to make frequent drops to our publisher via burned cd-roms and Fedex (thankfully, the airport was nearby, so our late night pushes would make it out).

we were burning on one of those Yamaha burners, but on a Mac instead of a pentium - in our case, we would optimize the external scsi drive that held our game, and still hope we could get a clean burn before the last Fedex drop.

we did manage to find some cheaper cd-r's though, when we bought in bulk.

I still remember buying my own first burner, which was just over $500 at the time, I ended up mostly using it for backups.

anyways, thanks for the memories!
