I order 25 diskettes from MEI/MICRO CENTER just to
see what I'd get. Here is what I found:

Of the original 25:
-------------------
11 Formatted OK for 800K
13 FAILED!!!!

Of the 13 failed:
-----------------
9 Formatted OK for 400K
4 FAILED!!!!!

I made it clear I wanted 800K disks, but I'll never order from them again.
I ordered Item Number: 148022 3.5" DS Bulk Disks 135-TPI.

For the 30 Day return privelege (replacement or money back), I notice
you must return the materials in the original packaging (whoops!!!).
I plan to have them replaced, just to see if I got a bad batch, but
I do not think I will do business with them in the future even if
the next batch is OK. I've heard rumors their quality is inconsistent.
