When I last bought some CDRW's (a while ago, they're only 4x) I couldn't find 
any that weren't marked 80min. I don't really see many 74min only CDRs either 
unless you get the 'audiophile' type.

I'm buying from wholesalers though, but I find it strange your office supply 
store only had 650Mb ones.
