Below is a sampling of disks recorded between 2001 and 2009. It is
likely that the disks of the same type were from the same package
because I don't use many disks. They were stored without much care,
but in a spaces tolerable to humans for reasonable periods.

edges of the disk have a strange faded coloration.
