There seems to be a right way and a wrong way to put labels on a Maxell
diskette.  The natural way (stick the label on the front, then wrap it
around to the back) doesn't seem to be the right way.  The point is
that the first side you put the label on is the more secure, so it's
better to give the smaller side an hand in sticking.

After having a few disks start to peel, I put my labels on starting on
the back, making two sharp creases on the edge, and then smoothing it
onto the front.
