arsclist FW: Mitsui cdrs

["Farrington, Jim" <jfarrington@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

While the ARSClist is moderated ever so lightly (basically all the spam and
messages about inactive accounts that would fill your collective mailboxes
are only directed to lucky me), occasionally messages come up that are in
that gray area of advertising. Joe Navalance at Media Supply thought that
many of the members of this list might find his information useful.
Certainly their products are aimed at those in the business who would be
subscribed to the list (in contrast to those advertising low mortgage rates
and free passwords to porn sites). So, I'm sending his message on to you
all: if you don't want to know anything about their CDRs, please delete now;
if you want more information, contact Joe directly.

Yes, Kodak is out of the business.  It was not the best CD-R on the market,

 Mitsui holds a patent on the dye that we use.  Our dye allows us to produce
