I use a whiteboardmarker "*Without xylithol*" (or something) and spray a little hairspray on top of it. (NOT TOO MUCH!!) You can also wai two days before it gets dried in, that way you have a nice label (those regular marker often leave trails), and it won't come off.

I use paper labels. There are commercially available ones specifically designed for CDR's, but they're expensive. One thing to watch out for: if you use paper labels, you have to cover enough area so that the CD doesn't become unbalanced; if it does, it makes an unpleasant noise when it's being read (though I don't know if that noise has any ill consequences).

I use Paint Pens. Basically, it's a spray paint can but in pen form. You can find them at your local art supply stores. You may also try asking the people that work there what sticks well to plastics. The name of the company that makes my pens is called Abbeon. They are located in Santa Barbara, CA Best of luck, Mario -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
