I know that Sony has an address where you can send failed disks for
replacement.  I've done it before but I lost the address.  Can someone please
give it to me?  To those who don't know, Sony (and some other companies) give
a lifetime replacement policy for their disks.

To those reading at Apple, I only own ten high density disks for the FDHD in
my IIcx.  Four of these have failed.  I'm not just talking about getting write
errors, that's happened many times.  I'm talking about disks that fail to
reinitialize even after being exposed to a magnet.  The FDHD is not even very
reliable with 800K disks.  I've never complained publicly before about any
other piece of Apple hardware or software but frankly I'm sick of this piece of
shit.
