I am in the process buying some computer equipment, and just wanted everyone's thoughts on it. 1. I want a DVD writer but I was told there are many different kinds and compatability is an issue, anybody know which one is the standard,or have any recommendations on what to get? 2. I need a high quality scanner, I would like to be able to scan pictures, and then print them with the same quality if possible, any suggestions? 3. and finally, I'm looking for a cable modem, any ideas at all, my area finally has an alternative to dialup, and i wanna check it out. As always price is a concern, but quality is also very important. Thank everyone for any help or advice they can give me --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- Computer Talk Shop http://www.computertalkshop.com Un-subscribe/Vacation, http://szaroconsulting.com/cts/list_options.htm List HowTo: http://szaroconsulting.com/cts/faq To join Computer Talk Shop's off topic list, please goto: http://szaroconsulting.com/cts/other_cts_lists.htm --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------
