I just read some glossy computer rag (PC Computing) and it had a survey of writable CD ROM drives. now I was surprised when it said that a blank CD on average costs $20! Yikes. Of course, PC Computing always has a tendency to exaggerate, so I think we could lop $10 off per if it's in bulk... But it's still kinda expensive for one disc. TRH Sends
