CD-R's
Abbreviation for
Compact Disc - RecordableA plastic disc with a thin layer upon the "top" layer to which data is recorded by a CD-R or
CD-RW drive that doubles as a label.The label is, in almost all cases, incapable of being written upon except by a Sharpie and few other
felt-tip pens which are uncommon to all mankind.The plastic disc itself also doubles as a dirt and scratch magnet, making it almost unreadable within one to two months.The common CD-R is seen and sold without any kind of protection. They are sold
en masse most commonly in ammounts of 25, 50 and 100 discs at a time.CD-Rs originally were able to contain a volume of 74 minutes of
CDA or 650 megabytes of data. Newer (and the most common) CD-Rs now are able to store 80 minutes of audio data, and a round 700 megabytes of files.

CD-Rs are shiny disc-shaped objects which are sold in packs of about fifty. Once purchased, they can be used as bird-tables, wheels for large
toy cars, hula-hoop rings your pet
stick insect can use to keep itself in shape or things you can twirl around on top of sticks like in kids' variety shows. They can also be instrumental for your survival. If you are ever attacked by a T-Rex or other dangerous flesh-eating dinosaur, use the shiny surface of the
CD-R to reflect the sunlight into its eyes. This will dazzle the beast and allow you valuable time to escape.
Example:
Note: CD-Rs are not for use with any kind of computer. If you put one in the disc drive and try to save any documents or data on it, you'll get a message telling you to insert a disc in the disc drive. That means the kind of disc which can be recorded on. These kinds of discs are currently on sale in
most good stores on the planet
Arcturus 3, or you can order them from
Merlin's Mystic Store of Magic (ask for Harry).
