[G4] Dual Layer DVD Unit=> Pioneer DVR-109, DVR-110

[Anthony Kluck]

I was glad to read Steve's post, too, and it gave me pause to consider 
whether or not to wait on this purchase, but I went ahead and ordered 
the model 109 anyhow; I don't yet have a DVD burner and -- for the 
price -- this is about the only way I will be able to afford one. I can 
upgrade later on as necessary and as prices on more advanced models 
drop. But I wanted to say thanks for the additional info, anyhow.
