Sorry I can't give you a definite address or phone #, but they advertise in all the Mac mags and I've seen ads for them in AmigaWorld. In March I rounded up a group order of disks for the entire CMU campus and I ordered 1000 Sony DS disks at a cost of about $1.38/disk. The volume was high enough that I got about 100 free disks for myself as compensation for handling the order. I had no problems with BEST, and I haven't heard complaints from the 40+ people that placed orders with me. You might want to try putting together a group order with the folks in your neighborhood; buying in quantity really pays off. --M -- Mike Portuesi / Carnegie-Mellon University Computer Science Department ARPA: mjp@spice.cs.cmu.edu UUCP: {backbone-site}!spice.cs.cmu.edu!mjp BITNET: rainwalker@drycas (a uVax-1 run by CMU Computer Club...tons o' fun) "Paradise is exactly like where you are right now...only much, much better" --Laurie Anderson, "Lanugage is a Virus"
