As I'd already commented the other day, DVD burners are around $90
Australian, whether on-line, a computer wholesaler, a small computer
shop, all about the same as each other, unless there's a special. To
save on doing currency conversions, that's around a days wages for a lot
of people, just a bit under for those who get paid a bit better. But,
either way, it's not pocket money. Even a simpler DVD-ROM might be
around $60-70.

On-line costs are similar to buying from a shop, sometimes more
expensive when you factor in postage and handling.
