Just a word. I believe I have found a solution. A Yamaha internal Scci that writes at 8x for under $75. Assuming the company has a good reputation (the reseller) I will send off for that one. It isn't the fastest. And it isn't the external Firewire end all and be all that I wanted. but I think it will be plenty good enough and at less than half as much than the burners I "really" wanted. Of course I discovered this on Friday after business hours so with Easter I wont find out for sure until Tues (if it's in stock, new or remanufactured, sellers reputation, etc) But I feel quite releaved at not having to spend the $500+ I don't have right now for the external and system 9 and the IDE card and a bigger Hard drive. And just in time too. Last night I hit the wall and literally have been up all night getting my main drive to boot again. My main drive is 2 gig and last night, while downloading a PDF file, I ran totally out of space. My machine didn't like that very much and I was getting constant bombs on start-up all night. I will feel very relieved to have a solid back up system in place again. I am so glad that Emailer has been so trouble free. Thanks to those who jumped in and apologies for going so far off list, but, aw heck, if my whole system falls apart I am off the list anyway so - in a way (stretch...) this is still an Emailer issue. And now I would like to return you to our regularly scheduled Emailer topic and the thread in progress. :-) Dave Groover ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
