You have a good point...But, should I or shouldn't I buy an external burner? BTW, I only have one crappy computer...And, if I'm not satisfied w/ the burner, I can keep it for 30 days, bring it back, buy another one, bring it back 30 days after, do this for as much time as I want and burn as much as I want ! One more thing, I already have a removable drive in both my computers, thats why I can't add an internal one to my Dell...I swap the drives every once and a while...
