CompUSA is more expensive then some of the other retailers with respect to the Zip drives and the media. Computer City carries the media for $20/one, $50/three, $150/ten. I just got at ten pack at the Rockville store Friday (it was sitting there for a couple of weeks, so I had to put it out of its misery.) It was the last 10-pack they had in stock. They do have a whole bunch of IBM formatted singles, just waiting to get bought. Eric
