Funny you should say that as my mate from Japan has one and you have to have them in a case.
 
Well, the one we have (The Pionerr DVR-A03) works just like a CDRW, except it burns much bigger CDs and it can burn DVD Video discs that works in any DVD player. (You can also burn small DVDs onto a CDR, but it won't play in commerical DVD devices. But it works just fine on PC-DVD drives.)

Sad part is the cheapest price I can find for blank DVD-Rs is $12. Not exactly cheap. Means I gotta be totally sure about what I burn, otherwise, I've just wasted a $12 CD.

Well, in our Street, Cable is available (theoretically)... but I haven't got enough money to pay for it. And there are no guys to share the price and bandwidth with... so I've got to keep on my 56k the next years... :sad:

even if cable is available first, ill wait for some dedicated bandwidth from the local DSL company
 
If it makes you happy guys I have only 28.8 at home, so Im browsing at great speeds of 3kb/s  :sad:   (if line goes fine)
 
I got my adsl last week and i managed to download 2gb in a weekend :smile:
 
Not bad ... but that's an average/slow day for us ^_^

With four people in the house, it's *fairly* rare to find any time during the day when the connection isn't being hit. Nighttime it's usually free, but the server's on 24/7 of course so now and then big downloads do go on thru the night, hehehe. It's SO nice to look at the 'Bytes received' column and see it spanning multiple gigs ^_^
 
Lucky buggers.  Even the sunshine is piped in down here at 56k.   :mad:
 
My modem speed is unstable. Sometimes it is 14,400, 33,600, 45,000, 50,600 and 52,000 every now and then.
 
Mine's usually 45333, unless I get a really crappy connect-then it's26600.
 
Oh, man, that really suxx0rs.  Anyway, it happened to me two monts ago, and again one month ago.  Luckily, i'm so used to having to delete everything that I didn't lose anything.  I do feel guilty, however, because I now know what caused it, and I gave it to someone else.  A person that would lose everything.  He sounded like he might be able to fix it, but I still feel really guilty.  It was on a *coughpiratedcough* copy of Quake III.  There were two setup files, and one didn't do anything... or so it seemed at the time...  Anyway, I gots winXP now, and I haven't had to delete everything for two weeks, so it's an improvement!
 
My dad will delete stuff on my desktop(I usually work my files here) whenever Red Alert 2 fails to load. He says that there is not enough space for RA2(although there is 4.3 GB left!) He deleted my FF9 EPSXE memcards! :mad: Talk about having an orthodox dad who only accept what he thinks as right and not the facts!!
 
Heh, I know how you feel. My sister think the modem effects your computer's speed, and the amount of memory you have left is the only reason a PC crashes!
 
Well Intel seem to think that a processor makes a modem faster...... Anyway Joey your dad may need and incredibly huge swap file :wink:
 
My computer seems to run slower when I am connected to the Internet also.  It sucks because the speed is usually around 5kbps at the most :evil:.

Joey, let me give you a tip (since I used to use my dad's computer to store sh*t).  Make hidden folders, and make the most visible folder have a name that it looks to be something important.  Like something part of the operating system.  Make like 3 subfolders, and in each of those 3 subfolders make another 2 or 3 subfolders.  Put your stuff there, but make sure you don't infect your dad's computer with a virus (I say it from personal experience).
