Depends where they are made, I read on the newsgroups that even the certified plus TDK's aren't made my TDK in their georgia plant anymore.
Richie: Which newsgroups are these? Is there a specific one for cdr media?
I still have about 35 of the real TDK certified pluses but I've not moved almost exclusively to FujiFilm Taiyo Yuden that are $16.99 for a 50 pack at Costco
Yep, I picked up 8 spindles recently, couldn't pass up on the deal and was afraid Costco may run out of them soon. As for the TDK, the only "Made in USA" ones I still see at my Target are the music ones, but those are ~$35/50 (and you can get 100 Fujifilm for this price at outpost.com, plus S/H). The data ones, both 74 and 80, have all been Taiwan made for a few months now.
