It's not the writer's that are the issue, it's the millions of CD-ROM drives that can't read them that are the issue, even for boxed sets. > My old Teac CD-R 32S can do it, my > girlfriend's ancient JVC drive can write them. You should really get a > new CD writer. A cheap one for 5 EUR from ebay should be sufficient. Another misconecption by Europeans and Americans. Just the shipping cost alone on anything bought outside in Europe or the states is the same price as a GPL set from Mandrakestore or half a club membership. There is no local ebay, the closest is bidorbuy.co.za, which currently lists 5 writers, cheapest is approx $50.
