Yes, 3.5" disk prices have been dropping dramatically...

When I bought my machine a year ago, a few of us got together and bought
a few hundred disks and paid $2.20 for each.

Six months later a few of us got together again and bought a hundred
and paid $1.50 for each.

And now I have a guy constantly calling me trying to sell me Sony's for
$1.24 apiece!

And these were all name brand, DS/DDs!

Don't buy disks for $60 at your local computer store...get together with
a few friends and buy them for 75% off by mail!
