Review: Bic Mark-It Permanent Marker

I like the design and the price point of the Bic Mark-It permanent markers, but they really can't hold a candle to the Sharpie permanent markers.  After marking up a few cds I had just burned, the tip was already going soft, and there is now a squishy feel when writing, which drives me nuts.  I'll stay strictly in the Sharpie camp from now on.
