Yes, new No. 3300 Binders are indeed still available.  See tomorrow's S3D 
for an ad.  The advantages of using an aluminum binder instead of tape are
(besides looking a lot prettier) ease of installation and it won't jam 
in a projector.  Taping can be rather time consuming, and must be done 
correctly (taking care where the overlap lies).  It's also costs about 7 
cents per mount, assuming no waste, so it's not as cheap as it might 
first appear.  Of course, I am totally biased in favor of everyone using 
Binders, not tape.  :-)
