Good find. Are you betting on the freezer because there's no telling 
what kind of dyes and quality control were used?  The coming 
longevity tests may not tell us what we're aching to know if there's 
so much variability in the products.  No more bargain discs for me. 
Would it be would be useful to know which companies are practicing 
quality control in making phthalocyanine dye, silver/gold metal 
products?  Mitsui possibly? Anyone know the scoop here? Rob D.
