One Hour Photo in the San Francisco Bay area sells *Double* sided Sonys
for 14.50 for a box of 10. So the point kinda becomes moot. The whole
SS/DS debate rages on and off every year and everyone decides to make
up their own minds in the matter. My only comment is that the incremental
cost of DS disks is not enough to discourage use. As the IBM PS/2 stuff
gears up the difference in price will eventually erode to near zero.

These opinions are my own and no one elses. But you knew that, didn't you.
