Hi Kev, I know there are r/w optical drives available now, but I don't have a spare $3k+++ lying around <GRIN>. When they get to under $1k CDN, then I'll bite – real hard. My dealer better watch I don't take any of his fingers in the process. If it wasn't for that premature announcement by trash shack over two years ago, I am sure the marked would have invested more in the WORM technology, and we would WORM drives available to us at a much lower cost than they go for now. Instead, thanks to the jerks at tandy, everybody decided to hold off getting WORMS, since it wasn't going to be too long before trash shack would have low cost r/w optical drives. Hopefully drives such as the MegaDrive sold by Impulse will see a drastic price reduction in the next 6 months – I can dream, right? I'll watch out for that PBS show. PBS WTVS from Detroit (what is normally seen all across Canada) doesn't seem tohave much for hi-tech shows – I can't even find Computer Chronicles in the listing. Nova is usually the most high tech for that station. Say, did you catch the Skyscraper series (four or five parter)? It sure re-afirmed to me, iron workers are nuts! When I have to walk the beams at work, I don't move very fast! 73, Kelly
