I got them from a stall at a computer fair. The brand is "Infiniti"
and "www.medeainternational.com" appears on the label. There are
plenty of other choices. These cost 10 pounds for 25 disks. I'd have
preferred 90s but they only had 99s. They seem to be OK in a Cyber
CW088D CD writer.

Hmm.
Dear Messrs Gilmour, Waters, Mason and Wright,
Please could you re-record "The Wall" at an average tempo 1.5% faster
than the original so I can get it all on one CD without breaking the
standards.
Thanks, Pigeon.
Dear Pigeon,
Sorry, Roger is no longer with us. He's split(1).
