I am thinking of getting some 3.5 disk and would like to know if anyone has purchased any disk at a reasonable price that did not give them any problems. I have used Sony in the past and have had no problem with them, unfortunatly, they ask for a pretty good price. Robert

Robert, I can find Maxell's and Sony's around here for less than $20 a box, and also found some Kodak disks on sale for $16 a box. Haven't had any problems with any of them. Don

I got an ad in the mail for 85 cent 3.5" disks. The company is MEI/Micro Center. You must buy them in lots of 25, and labels are 65 cents for fifty. The number is 800 634 3478. (If its illegal/unethical to give a company name, Sysops, please erase this message and condemn me to Hell. I'll understand). I bought 25 and have not yet had a problem with them. They are double sided. — Ethan

Ethan, there is a difference between blatant advertising and answering a question. I believe you were answering Robert's question. Betty

Robert, I buy disks by the hundred from HITECH. We use them for our club library. I think I have had maybe 2 or 3 of the last 500 or so that gave a problem. The woman who runs HiTech (in one of the Dallas suburbs, but I can't locate her card at the moment) sends them out by UPS the day I call her. She was selling them for $1.15 each in lots of 50 or more when I saw her during December. If you are interested in these, I'll be glad to get the address for you. Betty
