I wasn't plugging them ;) I was only telling you my experiences and what
I've heard about them. Your criticisms of Hi-Space just seemed to be out
of line with everything else I've heard. I was asking for clarification.

Just as a side note, if your MD somehow caused errors on a disc,
especially to the TOC, that disc will then have problems in other units,
as well. So that technically doesn't rule out your machine as being the
cause. If other people were having those problems on their own equipment
*before* your equipment every touched the discs, that lends support to
your theory.

I understand. I was simply saying that I've examined a number of my discs
(Hi-Space, Sony, TDK, Maxell) and don't see any differences in the disc
surfaces. I have noticed that the Maxell dics seem to be "cheaper" in
construction, though.
