Mybrother, who has a MAC+, says that he uses
single sided disks and he only gets a bad one out of every
10 that he tries.  Since single sided disks are typically
15 to 25% cheaper, it might be worth it to buy them for
non-critical applications.  I've heard that single sided
disks were originally made to be double sided but that
the manufacturer's tests found one side to be bad and so
sell them as single sided.  Can anyone confirm this?
