I'm only out $4 in "coasters" so far, and I buy expensive blanks at 
$1 each including the box.  (And I still have the boxes!)  I've now
done three successful burns in a row; I will leave things set the 
way they are for now, but eventually I do want to see if I can go 
back up to 4x speed if I have the screen saver/power management stuff
shut down.
