Help!!  For the past couple years, I've been buying bulk 3.5" DSDD disks from
MEI/MicroCenter.  I've bought THOUSANDS of disks from them, starting when they
were $1 per disk.  Now they are $.45 per disk and they are shit.  Out of each
200 I buy, at least 50-75 of them won't format DS.  I figure they are just
using SS disks (because the SS disks are the same price).  Back when the
disks were from $.70 - $1 each, they were great disks and it was a great deal.
Now it sucks having to return disks only to get more bad ones.  Some of these
disks have "marks" (look like scratches) across the media that I just wonder
is doing to my drive.

I need to find a place that sells bulk DSDD disks, GOOD disks at a good price.
I buy, on the average, 100 a month.

And to think, Computer Shopper says MEI is the people's choice for best value.
HA!  They haven't responded to my letters.  When I call, they always ask what
kind of computer I have, then tell me to send them back to be cheerfully
replaced.  I want them to be good the first time!

Anyone with recommendations, please mail me.  Thanks.
