	I have bought about 150 of these disks.  Since I live in
Columbus, I just go to their store and pick up a batch whenever I need
them.  I can't be sure that these are the same ones that you get if
you go through mail order, but it sounds like they are.  So far I have
only had 1 or 2 go bad.  I heard from others that Microcenter had a
bad batch a while ago.  Apparently they have switched manufacturers
and claim to have fixed the problem.  I'm about half way through a box
of 50 I purchased a month ago.  So far not a single disk has been bad.
