He who dies with the most toys wins eh? But you'll note that he's still dead... I can say that as I'm probably 3x your age & more aware of my mortality. :) >My LG GSA-4120B does DVD =-, DVD-RAM and CD.

I've not seen any DL media at Staples or Circuit City around here yet, we're sort of "out in the toulies" for some of these toys. :( The thing that really refried my beans was the price of dvd-+r/w disks. I paid $65 for a spindle of 25 back then, and they have since simply disappeared from the shelves, what I can buy today is write once only, anyplace I go. Those are fairly cheap, but not at 2 a day, everyday. I was going to setup about 50 of the rewritables for amanda's use here. But wound up getting a 200GB drive instead after I got tired of DDS2 changer/drives lasting about 2 weeks. And its turning out to be too small & I've had to curtail the depth of the backups to 2 cycles only. :( -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
