    you think THAT's bad?  when i bought my amiga, in october of '85,
the only local source of 3.5" DSDD's (the local authorized amiga
dealer at that time, incidently) wanted ~$70 for 10 sony DSDDs.  i was
ecstatic when i found a local source of maxell DSDDs for $26/10.
    for a while, i was buying bulk "unmarked sony" DSDD's for $95/50.
only a few cents less than your $20/box, but they _were_ double sided.
    last time i bought disks, i think i paid about $170 for 100 sony
DSDD's, in boxes of 10 (from usa-flex; got good service from them too).
there are lower prices around, especially for bulk generics.
