Only problem is that their mininum order is $10, and it is $3.50 for shipping (still much less than the apple dealer. Buy a few extra, get some blank disks, whatever..) Ideally, if there is a good electronics place in your area, try them first. Living in (near) silicon valley spoils one for ease of getting replacement parts and so forth. I'm not affiliated with JDR Microdevices, but have found their service (retail store) very good. Prices are generally rather close to prices of other places also. The Master tmaster@ucscb.UCSC.EDU
