CD-R media is currently free at my local PC shop, $5.99 for package with a $5.99 mail in rebate. Why should I care if they are burnable only ONCE. Just my opinion. BobG..

>the CD-R are brnable only ONCE. Yes, but nearly all new CD-R drives are CD-RW drives as well. You can buy the HP internal CD-rewritable for around 350-390 if you shop around. Prices are sure to fall as these are the FIRST units out. The CD-Rewritable CD media still is a bit expensive at 14 bucks a pop, but will get cheaper every day. It's already over 5 times cheaper per megabyte than a Zip. Within 12 months, every CD drive sold will be re-writable.
