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
