I'd look into purchasing an IDE DVD burner, seeing the Sony dual layer ones for under $80.-, then put it into an enclosure and you'll have the external burner for a lot less than if you'd bought an external unit outright, That should work out OK, the newer (2.6X) kernels seem to do a much better job w/ USB devices than in the past. That being said I'd still prefer to go with an internal DVD burner on my primary (desktop) workstation. For the laptop go with either a multibay CD burner or wait a bit for the prices to drop on the multibay DVD burners. YMMV :). -- Bests, Jon ---- ><((((º>`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸.·´¯`·...¸><((((º>¸. >>> ·´¯`·.¸. , . .·´¯`·.. ><((((º>`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸.·´¯`·...¸><((((º>> >
