As I'd already commented the other day, DVD burners are around $90 Australian, whether on-line, a computer wholesaler, a small computer shop, all about the same as each other, unless there's a special. To save on doing currency conversions, that's around a days wages for a lot of people, just a bit under for those who get paid a bit better. But, either way, it's not pocket money. Even a simpler DVD-ROM might be around $60-70. > They don't do that where you are? Wherever that is. Again. Not my business. On-line costs are similar to buying from a shop, sometimes more expensive when you factor in postage and handling. -- (This box runs FC6, my others run FC4 & FC5, in case that's important to the thread.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
