OK, so this is not particularly theological . . . but neither am
I! :)

FWIW, if you are buying a dual layer DVD burner for more than $230.00,or a CD burner for more than about $85 (from memory) you are being wellripped off!
Being a Mac owner and user, I have not entered into this
discussion. But Andrew's words struck a pang of remorse in my heart. I
bought my first CD burner about five years ago and it cost me (from
memory) around $1300 -- so much for your advice about no more than
$85! It was a SCSI device and still works fine on my old Mac. My newer
Mac, of course, runs on OS X and has a built in CD/DVD burner with the
software being part of the operating system (even if I do sometimes
use Toast).
How the price of hardware has come down!
Mind you, my first hard drive cost me $1900 about ten years ago
and had the staggering capacity of 80MB. The most recent one I bought
cost me about $125 and has a capacity of around 120GB.
Heavy sigh!
