   Hi, I thought I would post this rather than e-mail, as others are probably as
interested ...

   My company did business with MEI a while back, ordered several thousand disks
(these were 5 1/4, but I understand the same is true of the 3 1/2).  Of these,
the greater majority was quite good.  We had maybe 20 of the 2000 go bad.  They
were extremely good at getting the disks there when they promised.  They also
offer a guarantee on the disks.  If any go bad, they will replace them for free.
(I don't know how well this part works, as 20 disks just wasn't worth dealing
with).  In general, I fully endorse MEI.  I will probably order from them on the
deal you mentioned.

   NOTE:  I am in no way affiliated with MEI, just a satisfied customer.

Matt
