I've used three brands of disks so far: Apple's Mac disks, Verbatim's DataLife,
and BASF's Micro FlexyDisks. Two Mac disks have been damaged (somehow) so that
they have permanent unreadable sectors, and two Data Life's have lost data, but
were not permanentely damaged. As of this time I've haven't had a problem with 
the BASF's, but I only have five of these and haven't used them very much.

I'm interested in hearing from other people as to what disks they have had good
or bad experiences with.  If people send me mail, I'll sumarize to the net.

companies ( or any other disk companies), their employes, friends, and/or 
relatives.

    The MacRep told Mr. Fisk:
    Its front-end wasn't at risk.
    'The problem', he said,
    'was in the head,
    and it seems your Mac slipped a disk.'
