I live within 5 miles of both the Steelwood warehouse and the Micro Center retail store. They sell the same disks and the two buildings are about three miles apart. Anyway the above prices are from Computer Shopper (February 91) and my Micro Center catalog that came this week has the same floppies in the same quantity for $.47 and $.89 respectively. Folks these are the same disks! Moreover, the cheapest they get (when you buy 1000+) the price falls to $.39 and $.85. I just thought you might be interested. By the way, I called the Steelwood place and asked that since I live so close could I buy the diskettes and avoid the shipping charge and wait, if I came and picked it up. Needless to say they refused. I live at a bike rides distance and I'd get charged the same as if I lived on the west coast. Even computer co. can be greedy. -- cordero@cis.ohio-state.edu
