Yeah, rub it in will you, John... He who dies with the most toys wins
eh?
But you'll note that he's still dead... I can say that as I'm
probably 3x your age & more aware of my mortality. :)

I've not seen any DL media at Staples or Circuit City around here yet,
we're sort of "out in the toulies" for some of these toys. :(
The thing that really refried my beans was the price of dvd-+r/w
disks. I paid $65 for a spindle of 25 back then, and they have since
simply disappeared from the shelves, what I can buy today is write
once only, anyplace I go. Those are fairly cheap, but not at 2 a
day, everyday. I was going to setup about 50 of the rewritables for
amanda's use here. But wound up getting a 200GB drive instead after
I got tired of DDS2 changer/drives lasting about 2 weeks. And its
turning out to be too small & I've had to curtail the depth of the
backups to 2 cycles only. :(
