Well, I came back empty handed. I decided to wait until I could find a drive that I liked and at a reasonable price. I went to
www.canadacomputers.com and saw a Toshiba SD-R5002 DVD-RW, my question is are these any good? The price is $168, pretty good especially in Canadian currency. My a04 I got as a present, luckily it worked like a charm, so I have little experience with dvdrw drives as you can see
