As you know, Visual Studio Team System tracks many different work item types, such as requirements, tasks, and bugs. Many agile teams like to use "sticky notes" to post on the wall to organize their backlog of requirements and tasks and plan their iterations. Even Joel on Software's company is doing this.

Since I have no life when I travel, I wrote 3M yesterday to see if they manufacture Post-It note sheets that can be fed through a laser/inkjet printer ... and they do!

They come in 25, 100, 300 or 500 sheet quantities and I checked a couple of sites, such as CDW#1 Online Catalog, and Computers Unlimited. The prices range from $0.40 to $0.85/sheet, which might be cost prohibitive. Another cool option might be to use the stackable/sortable cards from 3m, although they are not sheet-fed, some printers might be able to "grab them". They come in a few different sizes.

You could make your own sheet fed post-it notes like this guy here does:

Of course you are trading time for the money savings, so you would need to figure your own ROI on this.

Today it occured to me that I wanted to print post-its rather than write on them and i've become a tad obsessed. I've done a fair amount of searching and mostly just came up with the venders you listed. Did you find any place that sold the 25 pack?
