What CMC SHOULD stand for!

CMC Magnetics makes the worst discs out there.  I don't know what CMC stands for, but I say it should stand for the following: Crappy Media Company!

I feel like at one point in time, (the very early 2000s), CMC wasn't that bad.

I still have my dad's Imation CD-Rs that are recovery discs for an old state of Windows XP and hold a lot of different software from then. I believe there are 10 of them and all of them are readable. Well over 20 years old and are very discolored. Turned from pale white to a dark/rich gold. They were burned with a standard laptop CD-RW/DVD-ROM slim drive too, QSI if anybody knows that company drive. 

Additionally, they have only been stored in those paper sleeve covers and they're still fine. Just in case though, I made backups of them onto Verbatim Data Life Plus CDs. 

CMC now sucks for real though, the verbatim Life Series now has trouble burning in many drives and I feel their longevity isn't it. Though they are good for overburning like ThaCrip said in his other posts.
