Good afternoon!  I've a story that shows I've been around computers a
wee bit too long, perhaps.  Back in the late 60's, I was a young 'un.
Very young, even -- like, 4.  And one of my favorite toys was, yes,
write protect rings for magtapes.  I *LOVED* those damn things.
[Wikipedia knows all, and has an image of some here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Write_protect_ring ]

Well, I'm due for a kid in March or so.

And I have no write protect rings.

I've E*Bay'd, and poked, and looked, and so forth... and it suddenly
occured to me that the people on this list would be more likely to know
where I could get, say, 50 of them, than just about anyone else.  I'll
even pay.

So: suggestions?

Thanks!

-Ken
