There are exceptions; You can buy discs by the actual manufacturer and
formulation; Ritek Silver and Ritek Gold are some examples. Some brands,
like TDK use the same supplier and have a high consistency from bath to
batch. Verbatim is just the opposite...you can never be sure what you are
gonna find in a pack of Verbatim discs.

By the way, as a friendly observation, you first paragraph suggests we "find
a brand that works and stick with it", and then in the nest paragraph you
state "Buying Maxell, Verbatim, etc. doesn't mean you are getting the same
discs
> from package to package.". It cannot be both ways...which is it...buy a
> brand for consistency or the brands have no consistency?
