WOW ! Here in the uk, your regular IDE CDROMs cost #35.95 for a 4x and #69 for an 8x - add 17.5% VAT (unless you buy your own company for #150) and change to dollars at 1.5:1 and you get $63.36 and $121.61.... You can get a 10 speed for 148 + VAT. Brian <brian@awfulhak.demon.co.uk> Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
