Re: [ARSCLIST] The ways CD's and DVD's can fail.

Hi, Ed.

I recently went through a fairly thorough pricing search for Mitsui 
(also now known as MAM-A) gold CD's.  The best price I found was to buy 
them in bulk spindles through Conservation Resources (www.conservation 
resources), then to buy jewel cases separately through Polyline 
(www.polylinecorp.com).

Also, if you search the recent listserv archives for "CD-R" or something 
similar, the issue of which CDs are best has been discussed at least 
once or twice in the past few months.  Not that there aren't more 
opinions out there to be heard!  :)

Warmly,
