2005-02-23 Thread Amy
Hi everyone! I'm pondering spending money I technically should be saving (for a possible cross country move) on a DVD drive for my computer. Just a simple DVD reader, I don't need to burn DVDs, really. And since I only use Mandrake, that's all it really needs to work with. I haven't heard many
