I can't be sure that these are the same ones that you get if you go through mail order, but it sounds like they are. So far I have only had 1 or 2 go bad. I heard from others that Microcenter had a bad batch a while ago. Apparently they have switched manufacturers and claim to have fixed the problem. I'm about half way through a box of 50 I purchased a month ago. So far not a single disk has been bad. ---Todd tj@tut.cis.ohio-state.edu -- ---Todd tj@tut.cis.ohio-state.edu
