Summary: Good disk supplier

I have been extremely happy with "Best Computer Supplies" in Campbell, CA;
Their current price for bulk Sony DS, quantity >= 400, is $1.73 (including
shipping, when bought in 100s).  My friends and I have bought approximately
2000 disks from them in the last 8 months.

They have ALWAYS shipped when they said they would, which was almost
always the next day.  I have sampled other suppliers (I probably shouldn't
mention names) but have found usually worser prices and MUCH worse service.
One company told me they would ship within two working days, and 10 days
later told me they wouldn't have any Sony disks in bulk for another two weeks!

Best's prices have gone down each month; I usually wait for the new issue
of MacWorld to get the current prices, then order.  Their phone number
is (800)351-BEST, (800)451BEST in California.

Diskclaimer: [ :-) ] I have no connection with Best Computer Supplies
except as an extremely happy bulk purchaser.
