We buy from:

	MacRENTALS, Inc.
	P.O. Box 4028
	Humble, TX  77347
	USA

Last order we placed (April 1986) we paid $1.28 (US) for double-sided disks
in quantities of 100.  This is about half the normal quantity 10 retail
price.  Just be warned that you will get industrial packaging (no 10-disk
boxes, possibly not even plastic jackets, no labels) and you get pot-luck
colors.

Of passing interest is that one box we got was obviously packaged for
mass-copy use; all the plastic jackets were split down the middle with a
tape running the length of the box attached to all the jackets; just pull
the tab on the tape and all the jackets come off in one motion.
