Cost is $79 for 100 disks. I don't know if they are good or factory seconds or what, but the price seems good. They have a 1-800 number (they advertise in everything, they are the ones with the full page adds for discontinued lapstops and stuff) which I do not have handy, but I recommend finding it and requesting a catalog. They do have some neat stuff in there, weird things that the general populus did not catch on to, but are just the thing for us wire-heads. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------+------------------------------------- Mickey Boyd | "Nobody can be exactly like me.
