 The company's name is Products Plus and they are located in
Santa Clara, California. Phone# 1-800-544-3472

I ordered 200 3.5'' disks from them 3 weeks ago at 37 cents each, pre-labeled.
They arrived in one week and *every one* worked fine. Now the bad news,
I called Products Plus today (2/26) and they said they were out of that
brand for four weeks. I was offered their next better brand, still brand X,
at 43 cents each for 150 or more. The company seems reputable and they
were extremely friendly but it sounds like the old bait and switch routine.
I still ordered 200.
