Okay, thanks Steve. Now I have to determine if it is worth getting the DVD
burner, or just the plain Lite-On DVD player... as you mentioned, in
previous email, why not use both, and I have a pretty good CD/RW now...
Was and am curious if it is worth getting DVD RW ... Will let you know
shortly. Thanks for doing some checking for me.. Will keep you posted as
to a decision...

I had some bad Mitsumi problems in the past, that being they did not last
long... so I am inclined to agree with you about staying with Lite-On.
