(Much deleted from the above.)

With the announcements of duties coming on 3.5" disks, I guess many of us we
be pushed into making some extra disk purchases in the near future that may
have otherwise been put off for a while.  E.g., I think that I will be
ordering around 80 disks soon.  Perhaps a few comments on the quality of the
less expensive brands would now be in order...

I have mainly used Sony disks in the past, and have been quite satisfied with
them.  However, on a fair-sized order, switching to a less expensive brand
would save more than a few dollars.

So, how about Kao disks, for a start?  Any other budget brands worthwhile?
Please post your experiences.

Jim
