VERY UNLUCKY draw of the straws? u basically got the "shortest straw" and you are "it" i'm afraid to say...
i personally don't have a membership to Sam's club, so i can't say i've ever purchased ANYTHING from their establishment...i know this doesn't make you feel any better, but thank you for letting the rest of us (ie. others that DO shop @ sams' club) know about this finding...

I am always prepared to recognize that there can be two points of view - mine and one that is probably wrong - John Gorton
i'm sorry.. i'm sticking to nothing but TY for right now...
thank you doc!
also thankful that rima.com is based out of city of industry and that ups ground is pretty much overnite..
(again, thank you doc for that recommendation)
i should email my rep at verbatim and ask them what is going on with that one.. and i'll post that into this thread..
When I first started out doing backups, I used to use verbs from Sam's Club. All were coded cmc mag. Scuba Pete told me to look for data life plus as these weren't cmc coded. Alot of my movies in the beginning all skipped and froze. I use Maxell + and - now and love it. I saw 75 Maxell ink jet printables at Sams this past holiday for $29.I haven't gotten them yet to let you know the code.
A few years ago Verbatim Datalife + had CMCs also. They were the -R 4x rated. That is where i first found CMCs, hiding under the Verbatim name, and i had a few memorex CMCs before i knew any better. I am still waiting for the Verb/Tys that creaky and the UK have. This is a pic of a verbatim datalife plus from a few years back that comes back CMC MAG.
