I fully understand that this idea would not be for the average. I picked up
the drive at Staples out of pure boredom. Not much to through away and I for
one would have more than one labeling system on my shelf even if it was an
off the wall one like this one. I now have two DVD burners on one system and
wouldn't care much about a little thing like a laser ;)
I wonder how many burners one could have on one system but I know Nero
likes what it sees. Maybe Burners in a Drawer like my HDDs.
