Maaaany years ago I worked for Gemini Shareware for a short time doing
disk duplication. I was astonished at some of the crap disks they were
buying. I found one 5.25" disk that had what appeared to be a 1/2" wide
strip of cellophane tape on the cookie. it was almost as if they coated
to the very end of the roll, including the tape that held the material to
the cardboard tube.
The Tracer 5 disk duplicators were cool as hell though. :)
