Greetings,
    Does anybody know where I can get a reasonable deal on 3570
cartridges?  Particularly, I am looking for tapes for a 3570 Model B,
part #05H2462.
    1-888-IBM-Media wants $62 apiece for them, even after our discount.
That is outrageously high for a cartidge that only holds 15GB!  I can
get DLT 7000 cartridges for around $45, and they hold 80GB.
    I have several customers who are in the same boat.  I know the IBM
label costs you, but that can't be all there is to it.  I can get IBM
3590E XL cartridges for ~ $50 after discounts, and they hold 120GB!
    Why so much cost for such a small cartridge?  Any ideas on where to
buy one cheaper?
