Larry, et al, it is my understanding that the 'tripling' of
cost is from the 'fire-sale' prices currently in existence. However, that
appears to also be primarily in the 'junk' CD-Rs now selling as low as
10¢ each. They might be useful for temporary storage. Tripling those
numbers brings one back to ~30¢ each, which is still less than a year
ago. Even at $1 each for quality stock still comes out to about 15¢ per
Megabyte, and still very much a bargain, compared to Zip disks,
etc.
