Acortech sells Nero 6.3 WITH serial number for $4.00. It is OEM so must be purchased with hardware but I don't find that to be a problem since they have some excellent prices on a variety of that. They have some good prices on both USB 2 and Firewire external enclosures, sizes 2.5" (laptop HD), 3.5" (standard) and 5.25". For Nero, see:

Acortech has proven to be a reliable vendor for me with several orders.

Soon after Windows XP was released I bought EZ CD Creator for $99.00 and it did not even support XP! They patched it 3 months later. We all know how effective a patch is, especially we who remember after market air conditioners for automobiles. As an OEM I buy CD and DVD burners in bulk. Bulk means you get the unit in a plastic wrapper. You get no box or instruction booklet. If you are fortunate you get bundled software. Currently I sell my CD Burner for $40.00 and my DVD Burner for $80.00. That includes my markup. Decent burning software sells for from $70.00 to $100.00. Go figure! Is there any way they will bundle software that costs more than the unit they are selling? The only reason they bundle software is because their competition bundles it... -- ---------------------------------------- WIN-HOME Archives: http://PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM/archives/WIN-HOME.html Contact the List Owner about problems: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unofficial Win-Home List Members Profiles Page http://winhome.wavijo.com/
