I'm (very) likely to buy a TEAC 150MB tape backup unit in the next
week or two, but I'm concerned about the price of the media.  At
$29/tape it doesn't sound like I can afford to do a complete backup
very often.  Any suggestions for a good place to get tapes more
cheaply?  (E-mail, please, I'll summarize if I get enough info.)
