i am looking in buying a dvd burner. i want an external one so i could use it across all my comps. post any good ones that r worth buying. thank you.
 
i didn't think that they made external dvd burners. unless usb 2.0 or firewire, which most need to add as an add on card anyway. i would suggest internal.
 
how can i tell if i have usb 2 ports. i got my computer in april from dell cant remember if it said anything
 
If you just got it in April, you probably have atleast two ports. Look in the front of the puter and see if you have a port there. If not, you should have two (atleast) right by the keyboard/mouse ports in the back. The USB port will look like this:

I just ordered a Sony DRU-500A. It does both formats (+R and -R). They also make an external version called DRX500UL. This one does Firewire and USB connections. If you want specs, you can look up DRX500UL on SonyStyle.com. I tried to link, but Sony's website hates us all.
 
I think he meant to ask "how can you tell if you have USB 2.0 ports?".
 
careful about the 2.0 and the 1.0 standards, they both look alike and its hard to tell.
 
when do you all think that the prices will come down and it will be an affordable standard?
 
they will be down when the companys realize they aint floggin em

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(
