Wow.
Way back in early 1999 I spent a couple hundred bucks (as I recall) on a <font color=red>sexy</font color=red> HP CD-Writer - 4x CD-R, 2x CD-RW. Up until now I've resisted an upgrade cause the damn thing outlasted every other computer part I've had and it's been in 4 PCs by now. I was used to burning CDs taking a <font color=blue>brief</font color=blue> 20-25 minutes.
Yesterday I was in CompUSA and saw the drive for like $65. I remembered seeing good reviews of it so I picked it up on a whim.
My God...the thing writes faster than does my floppy drive. I start a CD, run down to get a soda, come back and its done. I wish I would have known earlier how easy burning CDs had become - I have like 40-50 data CD backups to make.

. Just curious tho, exactly what do you folks backup? Because after backing up all my songs, some "programs", a couple assorted graphic files, & a couple other things, I didn't find much else to do with my writer.
