I have nothing but praise for these three brands. I routinely format single-sided disks as double-sided, and I have yet to encounter a failure. However, I bought one box of Brown disc "Scholar" single-sided discs (cheap, on a closeout sale), and had lots of trouble with those. First, they tend to be unwilling to format properly as double-sided (which limits their usefullness to me), but worse, at least 2 from the one box gave me trashed out files when I used them single-sided. If my box is any indication, stay away from Brown discs. Ken Nygard This is a code message. The code is called "language". Do you read me?
