	As a consumer, I am outraged, that pricing of PC [generic)
	related items are priced similarly as I know it from the Aviation
	world.  Apparently, with one central thought: "Let's rip'em off"

	After looking at a 50-disk-box yesterday, at a "sale-price" of
	$20 ($19.95, of course), I was appalled enough to ask the salesman,
	why the h... a plastic box should be worth $20, and he replied,
	"everybody else thinks it's a bargain.  I guess it's because it's
	a computer accessory ..."

	Well, campers, what are we going to do about THIS ????

	And, if anyone has found some nifty way to make a cheap alternative
	disk container, please let me know.  thanks.
