I have done ALL my diskette buying from MEI and have reached that they are: no frills high reliablity quick service low cost Labels, etc. are extra, but disks are so cheap that you still save a ton of money. I like the store a lot, and have bought aruond 300 1.2MB floppies from them -- NO BAD SECTORS. I guess I have been lucky, since I also bought 50 DS/DD 3.5 and 100 DS/HD 3.5 and still haven't had a bad sector. Brian
