Hmmm... the cheapest I know of is a company called MEI/Micro Center. I've
ordered over 100 DS/DD disks from them very cheaply. They are now selling
3.5" HD disks for $0.89 each in lots of 25. Shipping is $.50 per 25 disks
and handling, processing, etc. is $3.00 per order. Labels are $1.50 per pack
of 50.

All in all, an order of 50 disks with 50 labels will cost you $50. Not a bad
price, eh?? Or you can go with BRAND name Sony in boxes of 10 DS/HD for $23.45.
I have had absolutely no errors with any of the disks I've purchased. The
company is fast, reliable, and friendly.

What's the number? 1-800-634-3478 in Columbus, Ohio
              FAX  (614) 486-6417

Enjoy the savings...
P.S. The prices on disks have been going down monthly. Obviously from all of
the business that this company brings in.
