Thanks -- I always like to try something inexpensive first. For the
keyboard bags, the only in-stock options I could find were something on
Amazon ($80 for 500) or a place that had them $49 for 500, with a
minimum order before shipping of $100, so you basically had to buy three
cases. That vendor (Discount Disposables) is going to send me samples.
