I seriously thought about sending you an email to let you know that I had fixed my computer problem, but then decided against it for some reason. In any case, it is a great feeling when you manage to fix something. It's an extremely rare event for me, so I feel even more special about saving my computer. *g*

I'm ashamed to say that I'm not sure how a DVD burner works. Would it be the same principle as a CD burner? I might take you up on your offer next time I'm at your place. And, hey, I don't think it's sad that you know about the price of externals at The Source. I mean, everybody's got to have a hobby... *g* It's good to know that externals are on sale and The Source has memory sticks dead cheap. If nothing else, I should look into getting another memory stick because they're extremely handy and I love mine. :-)
