On the subject of disks, I've found that the standard Sony's are simply the
best and nothing else will do.  I saved a few dollars buying Maxell's and 
found out why I was saving a few dollars.  The Maxell's case is not completely
sealed - you can get it open enough to fit a dime in.  Also, the Maxell disks
tend to make extra noises kinda like: shhhh shhh shhhh shhh shhh shhh

I've never ever ever had a problem with my older Sony disks.  The worst thing
is that sometimes I'll insert one of my Maxell disks and it will imediately
ask me for the Workbench - if I cancel it says it can't find the disk validator.
Otherwise, it happily loads the disk validator then says insert my maxell in
df0:  I put it in, it asks for the maxell again in any drive, realizes it 
has it, then goes on.  bIZzARe stuff.

MORAL:  Don't but Maxell disks (they were even BLUE!) but spend the extra
few dollars on Sony's  (by the way, you save bunches of money by just going
to a clone shop or warehouse/mail order place - I got the Sony's for $25 when
they are $50 at a major Mac store.......)
