Re: CFFA Card memory cards on sale at Sears

["Greg Andrzejewski" <pressyourluck85@yahoo.com>]

I've bought new zip 100 disks at a local computer show for $7 a piece. 
That's probably the best source, I bet they get a lot of new old stock from 
the major retailers that no longer carry them.
Then, again, you could try digging around thrift shops and garage sales. 
I've found that zip drives were once pretty popular, especially with 
schools, who can have a large inventory they no longer have a use for.
