One thing I’ve been doing in my spare time is filling out surveys for new products. Every once in a while I get samples of new stuff to try out at home … I’m hoping I get a few samples of these:

These are new “designer” CD-R’s that Maxell and Sony might be releasing. Last listed price I saw for these was $12.99 USD for a 20-pack. I submitted my feedback on the designs but did note that the price was a bit high. Other “specialty” CD-R’s have a problem being sold for that reason: the high price. (Remember the cute “vinyl” CD-R’s?) If they come down on the price a few bucks, I’d buy ‘em.
