I'm looking for a metal or metal-alloy called `mu-metal' (mu as in the
greek letter). It is reputed to be a near perfect magnetic insulator or
shield. It has reportedly been used for making floppy disk containers
(you know, where you put the disks when they're not in the drive), by
some unnamed company.

I would like to know:

1. The Address or Phone Number of the company/companies that make
	such a floppy disk container, from the stated material.

2. The Address or Phone Number of the company/companies that make
	the metal itself.

Please reply by ELECTRONIC MAIL. The shorter the path, the better;
I'm in a bit of a hurry...

	tusen tak,
