"Help!!  For the past couple years, I've been buying bulk 3.5" DSDD disks from
"MEI/MicroCenter.  I've bought THOUSANDS of disks from them, starting when they
"were $1 per disk.  Now they are $.45 per disk and they are shit.  Out of each
"200 I buy, at least 50-75 of them won't format DS.  I figure they are just
"using SS disks (because the SS disks are the same price).  Back when the
"disks were from $.70 - $1 each, they were great disks and it was a great deal.
"Now it sucks having to return disks only to get more bad ones.  Some of these
"disks have "marks" (look like scratches) across the media that I just wonder
"is doing to my drive.
" 
	Interesting - I just (well, a couple of months ago) bought 50
	disks from MEI and they all formatted DS with no problems.  A
	whole lot of people recommended them so I assumed their quality
	was generally good. Anybody elso having problems?
