NOW who's getting anal about disc labels! We just think that the disc
label in a clear case is sufficient, and supremely mailable. We don't
want to waste time doing artwork on wraparound labels and stocking all
those bulky boxes. The thin plastic cases are elegant. Simple.

You been there? It's a lie. Clicking on anything in that ad just takes
you to the same old stuff. They apparently have some glossy surface CDs,
but the "Tuffcoat" DVD blanks are matte surface. I think that is what I
got tricked into ordering. I'll use them anyway, and see what happens,
but they are not what is being touted in the ad. I don't get it.
