A fellow worker here just handed me a flyer from MEI/Micro Center, 1100 Steelwood Road, Columbus, OH 43212-9972, 1-800-634-3478 with 5.25 DS/DD disk for 0.25 each in lots of 200, or 0.27 each in lots of 100. He claims these disks are good! Can anyone beat the price?? --Dick.. -------

Yes, the disks are good. The only problem that we've had with them is that sometimes they get two media inside one envelope. Since the index holes will rarely line up, you get a floppy that effectively doesn't have an index hole, which will fail to format. The disks are guaranteed, but at $.25 each, why bother to return them? -russ
