Re: Iomega Predator CD-RW Question

While the whole "clueless" staff thing is a reality, the really nice thing about Officeworks is that you can buy it, try it, and if it doesn't work you are entitled to a full refund - all you need to say was that it was "unsuitable". That being said, you might just want to go and buy a LaCIe U
