Tom, You are so knowledgeable regarding this type technology I thought I would ask you if you have heard about the back up system I bought last year and is it close to the system you are talking about here. It is a Mad Dog multimedia DVD-RW drive that hooks into my hard drive and came with a Roxio Creator 8.2 XE with CinePlayer CD. It is made by LightScribe which says it is a registered trademark of Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. I have used it a couple times and seems to be good, but I seem to get into trouble when I want to add data to a CDRW that already has something on it. I need more hours in the day to go to their web site and learn what I'm doing. Just wondered if you have heard of it and is this any way comparable to yours? Thanks so much for your technical advice...it's so hard to get ahold of someone for sound advice!!!

Today I saw an ad for the same Maxtor 500GB backup drive at Staples for $80 after rebate. I've got a small embroidery business compared to many of you, but I once had a drive go kaput and the pain and agony in trying to get my data left me saying it would never happen again. I have 5 computers in my house/business and have 2 of these already and am going to buy a third today. Sometimes I backup my backup. Yes it may be paranoid, but if you lose your business data, you have a BIG problem. The url is below and if you can't open it drop me a note and I'll send it to you directly. Recovering from the post-turkey gorging....
