If you want 3.5-inch media, you have to buy Sony. (I ordered the Software Supplement and got a letter saying that even Apple has run out of disks, so that Supplement shipments are running 3-4 weeks behind schedule.) The Sony disks cost $50 for a box of 10, and are available only at MicroAge. The dealer tells me that Microsoft just placed a $1M order for the disks from Sony, so she got smart and ordered a few thousand disks before supplies began to run short. R.
