Since I live in Columbus, I have been using MicroCenter's disks since I got 
my first Amy back in March of '86. They used to be dependable but now seem
unreliable. Apparently MicroCenter does buy from whomever gives them the 
best deal at the time. Fortunately I can usually find Sony's or Maxell's in
a box at wholsale type outlet centers for approx. $17.00/box. It doesn't 
seem worth the gamble to go the MicroCenter route and drive across town to
exchange them.
