nice. i have one dvd writer, and now ordered another one with the new computer, as you said, runs really smooth, nero has perfect support for it... didnt try to burn all the applications on it though, a bit scared to have them all on one dvd, and too lazy to burn second one for backup how are the dvds btw, are they stable, how long do you have it, cause i have mine for about 6 months, and im not sure how long the burned disks will last...
