hmmm... i am not so sure about that.  we just got our r/w optical disk
from hp and it took over 3 months to get the drive.  we ordered our
media at 16:50 and i had the box on my desk by 09:45 the next morning.
we only order 11 disks, but i doubt that order 30-40 disks would take
that much longer...
