.. molded cdroms..
( i assume you mean pressed cdroms like MsWindows or Doom3 that you buy)
 do you even know how they are made?!?
.. you cant "burn" more data on a "molded" cdrom, as the
reflective layer is not only not "burnable", but never was "burnt" to begin
with.
but thanks for playing!!!

mabey a better idea is hard drives and usb thumbdrives,
how about some floppys!!! or mabey cover the anti-record
tabs on some audio cassettes, record over some Britney with
some Megadeath or.. nevermind.
*sigh*

m.w

p.s. next time please do some research...
