Sony sells three colors of disks: beige, black and blue. I presume if you call the other manufacturers, you would find the same to be true. dov

And white, and "platinum" (off-white for the new Apples). But where do the red, green, yellow, and orange Centech's fit into this color scheme?? I've got 20 Centechs, and have had no trouble with them at all. (Funny side note, their rainbow pack has two disks each of five different colors: red, green, yellow, orange, and blue. Blue? Gee what a change from all those Sonys!) BASF = pond scum. 15-20 out of a batch of 50 wouldn't even format. -- Blaine Gardner @ Evans & Sutherland 540 Arapeen Drive, SLC, Utah 84108 UUCP Addresses: {ihnp4,ucbvax,allegra,decvax}!decwrl!esunix!blgardne ihnp4!utah-cs!esunix!blgardne usna!esunix!blgardne "Nobody will ever need more than 64K."

I haven't seen the original ref'ed article in its entirety yet but think I can comment on ^^^^. Colour is only an _indicator_, as is country of manufacturer and brand name (or lack of it). Are all Sony disks manufactured in Japan with equal quality controls? I can't say, I've not seen beige Sony's for instance.
