[ale] Recommendation for DVD burner

[James Sumners]

Actually, I have decided to go with this one:
http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=27-152-011&catalog=23&manufactory=BROWSE

It is cheaper, has a firmware upgrade to enable Dual Layer burning, and has a
good review by someone who has the Plextor burner I have been drooling over for
about a year now.

I used to be interested in Windows NT, but the more I see of it the more it
looks like traditional Windows with a stabler kernel. I don't find anything
technically interesting there. In my opinion MS is a lot better at making money
than it is at making good operating systems.  -- Linus Torvalds
