>>BSODs. This is a Plextor CD, not CDR or RW. I bought it from Jon, figuring I'd give Plextor another try after my last bad experience (dead drive, heat problems, noisy) a few years ago. It came with a set of CD utilities, which, among other things, allow certain settings to be made (not too useful) and support digital audio extraction. Seemed amusing, but the BSOD was not very funny. These aren't very important utilities if you have Easy CD creator, which does the extraction as well, so it's no big deal. But it didn't help Plextor's stock on my personal opinion spread sheet. Plextor now has the honor of producing the ONLY software that has handed me a BSOD on this machine, running since January. Place of honor <g>. Since I'm never going to run it again, I hope it keeps that place <gg>. I wouldn't worry too much if I were you. I seem to bring out the worst in Plextor, PQ, etc <G>.
