I got that in Maplin - "Oh, you know we've got a special on 100 shrinkwrapped
unbranded CD-Rs for £20". Just for grins, I picked up the pack and the bottom
disc was scratched to hell. For extra points, there was visible unevenness in
the dye layer, along with what appeared to be dust spots inside the dye
layer. Needless to say, I picked up two packs of T-Ys and left. I'm down to
my last nine T-Y CDRs ("THAT'S CD-R" branded - T-Y's own brand).

It's sometimes worth taking a quick look at the CDFreaks.com forum at
<http://club.cdfreaks.com/> - there's a forum called the "Bargain Basement".
Simple idea - find a good deal on CD media, share the info. That's where I
found out about SVP and APRMedia.

Later.
