On tapes available from DAK: > All their tapes have the advantage of CHEAP - they sell only in lots of 10 >and they go for about $24 for FeO and $26 for CrO2. They save money by making >you insert the box labels, etc. The shells are cheap,... (and the parent article notes a few other minor drawbacks...) OK, around here I can buy Maxell UD XL-II cassettes (CrO2 type) for $2.19 to $2.25. The labels are already in the box, the shells are good, and I've NEVER had problems with one. So why are the DAK cassettes at $2.60 a good buy? -- Dick Dunn {hao,ucbvax,allegra}!nbires!rcd (303)444-5710 x3086 ...Never attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity.
