A quick count reveals that I've got almost 200 disks now, most of them
Sony and Maxell, and some C.ITOH.  I have nothing but praise for these
three brands.  I routinely format single-sided disks as double-sided,
and I have yet to encounter a failure.  However, I bought one box of
Brown disc "Scholar" single-sided discs (cheap, on a closeout sale), and
had lots of trouble with those.  First, they tend to be unwilling to
format properly as double-sided (which limits their usefullness to me),
but worse, at least 2 from the one box gave me trashed out files when
I used them single-sided.  If my box is any indication, stay away from
Brown discs.
