RE: DVD-RAM Drive in new machine

Mike,

Just a follow up on my last mail. To read the DVD on the PC you need a
DVD-RAM reader. This is a different piece of equipment than the usual
DVD/CD reader, however I imagine a PC that had BOTH the DVD-RAM reader and
a CD-burner would be able to do what you're after (I am guessing here).
DVD-RAM readers are only a couple of hundred dollars (approx A$300 I think,
or about US$150. They're probably even cheaper bought within the US).

Thanks

Bummer, I was hoping it would so we could skip a step in some of our
burnings we need to do. Oh well....

In summary you burn DVD's.  I don't think it will burn CD's.
