After reading several articles praising Sony disks, I thought I would pass along my 'statistics'. Out of 50 Sony disks I have used in the past two years I have had 3 of them develope read errors. One of these disks was only rarely used for archiving files. By way of contrast, none of my four year old original 400K Apple disks (used on the same machines) have ever gone bad. For all I know, the original Apple disks were made by Sony. But a 6% failure rate for my Sony disks does not strike me as reliable. Dennis Snow Department of Mathematics University of Notre Dame
