I still have a ton of 'em I punched using a paper hole puncher.  Maybe 2 
out of 50 didn't punch right.  Even if the cotton liner was poking out 
some, they worked great.  The flippies were not my favorite way of doing 
it, but rather just have my patched DECB and use DRIVE 2 and 3 for the 
backsides of the disks without flipping them.

If I mailed disks to somebody, I'd usually ask about their drive 
system.  If I didn't, I'd hear about it later.  :)

Some people wouldn't have it any other way than using the punch and flip 
method.

I wonder if the SuperBoard will be CD-RW ready?
