Isn't the price difference here just a wee bit excessive?  $16 for 10+, but 
nearly five times that for one-off quantities?  I could understand, say, a 
25-50% markup for single lots (say, $20-25 per disk), but charging $75 for 
FTP'ing a load of files and dumping them to CD really seems a bit much.
