I would suggest a DVD burner that also does CD's. This gives you the most
flexibility. You are best off, in my opinion, with a burner that does both
DVD & CD disc in + and - & RW discs. The speed is not all that
important unless you are going to be doing tons of them.
To make this simple... regular discs (CD r'sor DVD r's)
whether + or - are write one time discs. You cannot erase data and reuse
the space.
An RW disc (either CD or DVD) can be erased and reused. These discs cost
more. I use these a lot for incremental backups of data.
I save up money and when they are on sale.... extremely cheap after rebates,
I buy a ton of them. I get some and get friends to buy them..and I submit
all the rebates and get the checks from them when they come in. I do favors
for them and make cd's of their pics for them too.
I typically do not pay more than $.50 a disc for DVD r''s.
I typically do not pay more than $.10 -$.15 each for CD r's
If you tell me what city you live in, I might be able to give you some hints
as to stores.....
You will also need software to burn either cd's or dvd's and I agree with
Lyn on Nero 6.6.
It gives you the flexibility to start simple and go from there.
There are good places to get cheap prices..and depending upon where you
live, you could save a bundle!

I would recommend a DVD burner they are a bit more pricey but well worth it
you can put almost 5 gigs on a DVD vice the 700 on a CD and when you are up
to it you can burn DVD's too. I have made a few family slideshows and I
burn them in DVD format for all the family members who prefere them that way
or don't have a computer.
I have an LG CD burner and an NEC DVD burner both work great and have for
some time now.
Also in my opine NERO 6.6 is your best bet for burner software
I run the above with XP-Pro on a 3.2 Ghz system with a Gig of memory which
is ample fopr the above.

Hello Group,
'Tis I again. I need to find out about which burner would suit me best. I
need to be able to back up files from Myob, burn pics of my Grandson,
puppies, Michaels race car, save programs..... you get the idea. Just about
everything. Now the bit I have to work out is .........er...there are so
many different types. Download.com have CD and DVD burners listed. I would
still need to buy a burner...Yes????
Then get someone to install it....... ( not the tec from hell for sure, I
could finish up with anything) but what are the burners at Download .com?
Aaaah , so many choices...so little knowledge.
