Time to Purchase a DVD-R?

Evanrude asks: "With DVD writers having significantly come down in price over the past year more companies are coming out with their version of the DVD-R. My company has a large file archive of documents and data that don't necessarily need to be stored on read/write media, but need to be kept online. I want to accomplish this with online DVD storage but is this the right way to go? Who has the best value with the most features of all the DVD-R's on the market? What are some things to look for and things to avoid when purchasing a DVD-R? Is it even time to purchase one, or should I wait another six months?"

    "How do I divide a Meter into three equal parts?" Easy, divide by three.
    BR>How do I divide a Foot into ten equal parts? Come on, your argument is totally spurious. Sure, base 12 is just wonderful - but only PARTS of the imperial system ARE base 12. Feet and inches are great for carpentry, but fuck-all use for science and engineering. Going Metric makes a lot of sense. If the British can see that, it can't be too difficult for Americans, can it?
