I don't doubt you for a moment. I have been using these storage boxes
for years. I'm pretty sure I posted info about this and the envelopes
but I couldn't find any reference on it either. It might not have made
it to P3D or maybe is buried in the posts under some other elusive
keyword. 

What I have learned here on P3D is that there isn't many 3-D firsts.
One good thing about recurring themes, ideas, arguments
(ok discussions!), etc. brought back time and time again is that we
get more in-depth. Also even though there is a wealth of information
in the archives (and on Dan's CD!), it is hard to assimilate all
that info in one sitting. Therefore it's great to bring up "new"
ideas to the fresh faces on P3D. Problem is most "new" ideas are
"old" ideas! ;-) Even on patent searches I am amazed how some new
patents basically identical to old patents.

For sure!!! :-)

You might try looking for Zip disk storage accessories. They are also
about the right size. Also don't forget the envelopes, that some brands
of 3.5 disks come with. They make perfect VM reel envelopes.
Other potential canditates are photographic album pages. They come in
various sizes.

You mean respectfully resubmitted! ;-)

P.S. I read some more words of wisdom from Bazooka Joe today!
     Here it is, slightly modified.
