Hmm, I don't recall the 10 packs every being $100.  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.
