I just wanted to point out that if you live in the US and are looking to get a CD-RW drive and/or media, do your shopping on Black Friday (the Friday after Thanksgiving.) For example, Best Buy will be offering a 48x12x48 for $9.99 after several mail-in rebates, and a bundle of 150 40X speed CDR blanks for free after mail-in rebate ($26 before rebate.) Other stores are having similar deals, Staples, Office Max, etc. Lots of stuff really cheap (especially DVD-ROMs / CD-RWs / media) or even free after all the mail-in rebates are applied.
