Month: July 2006

We’ve all been feeling the heat lately at CD-writer.com but last Friday we found some light relief in the form of a Friday Afternnon BBQ. It was nice to spend the later afternoon burning burger rather than discs. And it provided a great opportunity for our growing team to let their hair down. We’re planning to make this a fortnightly event so check your diaries. Highlights included some fine kebabs prepared by Mr Nic ‘Ace’ Ranshaw, some great Latin Jazz from Dave De Caunce and some rather snappy cider brought by Helene from her family home in Toulouse.

The weather is hot but the prices are hotter down here at CD-writer.com Ltd. London’s favourite supplier of CD and DVD duplication equipment is running a seasonal sale on select items, including the following: MicroBoards Print Factory 3, 11 DVD Duplicator, StorDigital 100 Discs Robotic Duplicator, Primera Bravo 2, MicroBoards GX1, Tascam CD-RW900-SL, StorDigital ProBurner.

Get them while they’re hot!!

Just like the rest of the world we’ve been keenly monitoring the rise of these two Blue Laser giants. We created this graph from statistics based on Google searched data. As you can see there is a larger volume of searches for Blu-Ray based devices than HD-DVD. Both platforms seem to follow the same peaks and troughs most likely determined by press announcements, news coverage and the release of white papers.

We’ll be actively monitoring this new market in order to provide information regaring new markets and cross-selling opportunities.

It should be noted that in our opinion google search stats can not be used in any way to determine the size or growth of a market. There is no scale so actual volume cannot be determined.

It is with great sadness that we heard of the passing of Syd Barrett on 12th July 2006. Syd has been a big influence on so many across the world, and there are no greater fans than some of our own team members at CD-writer.com. Syd was lost to the world we know so many years ago when he opted out of the music business; yet Syd, the concept has grown in brightness and intensity with every new fan who discovered this rare marvel. Rest in peace Syd and thanks for the treasure.
