After being reminded about Sorbent Systems, I checked their site out,
and they seem to be alive and kicking, which is good. They've got some
verbiage on one page on the site about "channel bags" not being
available for web purchase, but I suspect that a call or email would
score some useable bags from the company. There's no rule, after all,
about doing products to someone's specification, right?
