Nice to be appreciated. When you're depressed, just look for my posts.

Yes. I agree. I think that this is the perfect solution for the OP,
since the printable disks that I use with pens!)aren't that easy to come
by, at least here in the USA -- probably because we don't seem to have
many printers available that will print on them.
One nice thing about Sharpie pens, too, is that ordinary rubbing alcohol
(70% isopropyl) and a rag will remove the ink from the disk. 90% works
even better. So, if you screw up, like absent-mindedly draw a picture of
your mother-in-law's butt, your safety will be preserved.
I think that Sharpies are really fine for this; the colors in the sets
are cool. I even found some markers at a Dollar Store. They're stinkier
and the writing is flabbier (mushy and imprecise), but they're really
cheap. I use them for major titles, such as "Beethoven." I used to use
color-coded labels for my floppy disks, back before there were hard
disks. A leftover from that time is that I reserve the color red for
utility disks; blue for software, green for data. This makes it easier
to grab the right CD.
Anyway, I think that using Sharpies will be neat and easy. Simple.
