[G4] Combo drive recomendations?

[Hal Widlansky]

I got my DVD burner to make DVDs of my kids to send to family. I've  
also copied old videos to DVD, as tapes get fragile when they get  
old. It also comes in handy when backing up lots of data, as you can  
only store 700MB on a CD an over 4GB on a DVD.

I think I paid $30 for the drive to drop into my G4 tower and I was  
able to find a patch to make it region-free.

cheers,
-Hal
