DVD burners are selling for between 200 and 400 dollars. Not really that expensive for relatively new technlogy. Also, what good do these "backups" do for you? If you don't have a DVD burner it's not like you can restore them back onto a DVD if your original is damaged. I can't say that I buy the backup excuse in this instance.



ps- I purposefully mispelled technlogy because if you spell it properly it seems AO is now imbedding marketing links into the text.
