Blank check

I'm out of blanks until next week. Normally I get about a 4 to 6 day delivery, but the last order placed April 22 won't arrive until at least the 2nd. Thumbs down to the postal service. Good quality blanks are getting more difficult to come by and the price keeps going up as the competitive market spirals down and fewer distributors carry blank media. Taiyo-Yuden saw the handwriting on the wall several years ago and sold out to JVC. Then JVC woke up and dropped disc manufacturing. CMC stepped in and purchased the technology from JVC and have kept it going, but it has obviously become an aftermarket item. Save that photo above. You can show it to your grandkids when they ask you if they really used to sell TV shows, movies and music on little plastic discs.
