I did browse their printers, since I was there, and wondered -- anyone familiar with printable CD/DVD technology?

I have an Epson Stylus Photo 960 that prints CDs and DVDs and they end up looking great. You do need to get good printable blank media, though. I've been happy with CD-R from Memorex and DVD-R from Verbatim.

I have the Epson Stylus R200, which is the cheapest ($100) CD/DVD capable printer in the Epson line. I love it. I'm using printable Ridata DVDs that I got in bulk spindles from Rima.com and I haven't had any problems. I also have some Memorex printable CD-Rs that look good.

Prints on photo paper also look good, and I've been using glossy brochure paper to print DVD inserts lately, and those look sharp, too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think it was an Epson in the store -- how is it for other stuff? Good photos?

eta: Oh, look! Thanks, hiddensky.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I've got the R200 also. What HiddenSky said.

btefnet.net is down. Apparently, they got sued by the MPAA today.

Anyone know any alternatives?

You're welcome, ita. For about $100 for the R200, it's hard to go wrong. I've noticed plain paper photo printing is a bit more vibrant on Epson's own paper, but that's one of the few quirks I've noticed, and it's not that surprising. Photo paper prints are great, though. It prints right to the edge, so you don't have white borders on photos if you don't want them.

Can someone give me an example of a properly formatted RFC-822 time/date?

I'm trying to format the pubdate field of an RSS feed, and it's the only thing I can't seem to get validated. Reading this is just making my eyes cross.
