I have a Sony I bought in '01. About 18 months ago it started making
discs that were nearly unreadable on my T23. I bought an Iomega USB
writer and that helped for a while. Finally I replaced the CD-ROM in
the T23 with a CD/DVD-RW drive. Since it's much faster than my old
Sony, I just use it.
I suspect minor alignment problems over time especially on a laptop.
