A company called Weber and Sons, Inc. advertises what sounds like a
very nice inexpensive disk storage system in Computer Shopper. They sell
heavy cardboard file boxes, similar to the ones sold for index cards, but
made to the right size for 5.25" and 8" floppies. The boxes hold 150 disks
and come with 150 labels, 40 dividers, and either a removable lid or a pull
sleeve outer box. They sell for $9.95 (5.25") or $15.95 (8"), plus $3.00
shipping and handling per order. Their address is:
Weber and Sons, Inc.
P. O. Box 1045
Adelphia, NJ 07710
I have no interest in or affiliation with these people, and haven't yet
ordered anything from them (I'm still on my last batch of 5 X 8 index card
files). I do think they have the best deal I've seen in made-for-floppies
storage files. One final suggestion: a friend of mine uses surplus .50 cal.
ammo boxes. These fit 5.25" disks nicely, and may protect against humidity
and magnetism.
Toward ending ridiculous prices,
