Thank you for supporting an often discriminated media class.
As programmer who really cares about optical media, i'd say that CD are
outdated except for the purpose of Audio CDs and for use cases where
700 MiB of storage capacity suffices.
I write about one CD-RW per week and a dozen CD-Rs every three months.
Bread-and-butter has moved a while ago to 4.5 GiB DVD+RW, DVD-R, DVD+R.
Nowadays single layer 25 GB BD-R and BD-RE are pushing aside the DVD types
(50 EUR-cent for a BD-R, 1 EUR for a re-usable BD-RE).
I daily write small sessions on one BD-R, 3 BD-REs, and one DVD+RW.
Every second day there are backups to 1 BD-RE or 1 - 4 DVD+RW.

They can be printed on (my employer bought a Canon iP7250 printer for
this) and they can be offered to the audience on a swedish Knaeckebroed
