Thank you for the price update, it has come down to $12US + shipping since I looked the last time. That's close enough to ten Euro to pretty much match. The price is still too high, careful buying gets DVD-R 4.7GB blanks down to $0.40US, so DL blanks at 20 times that aren't reasonable backup media. I suppose that if you were copying a movie DVD or something it would make sense, but many DVDs are on sale for less than the blank, so even that depends on the cost of just buying a copy. I hope the price will come down eventually, backups are still an issue. -- bill davidsen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CTO, TMR Associates, Inc Doing interesting things with little computers since 1979. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
