I'm surprised that no one has commented about the $20/10 disks
statement. MEI has been offering 3.5" disks for .79 ea in lots of
25 for some time (some shipping charges are added, not much). If
anyone wants to check them out, the number is 1-800-634-3478. If
you order, you will get a flyer/catalog that lists exceptional
prices for 5.25" disks, printer ribbons, etc.

Usual disclaimer - not my dad, uncle, ...
