That's what I did. Found both on Newegg and ordered the 7200.

I went over the CDFreaks link and they're saying the 7220 is a Lite-On. By the talk I construed from the rest of the replies, that the 7200 is not a Lite-On drive. By that, I think I'll get the 7200. I had issues with an IOMega rebaded Lite On drive where the video played back on the PS 2 skipped.

Well, looks like I've burned through another NEC drive with years of abuse and overuse and given my propensity to break drives, it seems, I appear to need a replacement for my NEC. It's no longer finalizing Verbatim DVD+R DL discs that it used to finalize. So, I ask, what is the latest model of NEC that is out there for me to search for? Thanks!

What I've seen in here might help me. After I installed Vista as an upgrade to XP, autoplay just quit on both of my drives.

Is this still the site for old series Doctor Who news? http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/news/ It hasn't been updated since April so that makes me wonder if they've moved to a new site. Can anyone enlighten me on this?

So, it is a constant area and what Musicmatch told me is the junk I've always expected it was.

After seeing the bit in ImgBurn about reading CD-Text, it got me to wondering about CD-Text again. Where exactly is CD-Text stored? In particular, is it always in the same place on a disc? I once asked why MusicMatch stopped reading CD-Text when it had at one time done so. Their answer was they could never be sure where the CD-Text was stored as it could be stored in different places. Personally, I think they just got lazy and stopped supporting it because CD-Text had been working in MusicMatch past versions.

I'd use it to call the BBC and claim I'm the representative of the Dalek union and no more Daleks will do a single bit of work for the Beeb until my, excuse me, our demands are met. Our demands being, of course, money for more Dalek voice changers.

Ah, I knew I'd discover some fault with the whole Copy To and Move To being removed from the context menus. It means you can't as easily move things from the Desktop to another location. You have to Cut and then open an Windows Explorer instance to Paste it into the desired location.

Okay, now that I've seen the two parter, I more than before stand by my initial impressions. It tries to work in too much yet somehow works as a whole. I think Davros was sadly underused, merely as a Dalek pet. Because, I have to ask: if Davros used his own cells to make new Daleks, why didn't he make them Davros loyal like the white and gold Daleks from Revelation Of The Daleks and Remembrance?

It's about time! http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/images/...=kids&img=2 With all the other voice changers they made, a Cyberman, Sec, and Jadoon version, it took this long to make one for a Dalek.

I haven't seen it all yet, but from what I have seen, I'm kind of on both sides of the fence. On one hand, I think there was a too many cooks situation. Davies tried to stuff in too many characters at once for the script to handle. Strangely enough, though, on the other hand, I find myself surprised at how well the script does work given that I think too many characters are in the thick of it for the story to handle. Plus, I find myself asking a few questions. If the Daleks did a massive appearance on Earth, how come Van Staten doesn't know what a Dalek is in 2010 or 2012, whichever year that story took place in. If Davros was in the Time War, was he a Davros like we see him in this finale or as the Emperor Davros. I know this new series doesn't appear to be trying to keep continuity with the old series, but there is a problem with how Davros looks. Especially since Davros has a robotic hand, which would explain how he lost a hand in Revelation Of The Daleks.

Mostly it's the cost that prohibits me from doing that until absolutely necessary. The primary reason I don't do my own builds is the problem of cobbling together the necessary drivers for specific hardware. If I buy an already made up system, all the software I need for that is included, even if it's just drivers from the OS install disc. Price, too, as I said, is another concern, putting off getting a system until absolutely necessary. A new computer would take up probably a whole month of my disability.

Yeah, that's why, this time, I added the phrase my setup. I got to thinking my faults could be a result of the upgrade over XP. A pure install of Vista might not do these things. Then again, it might. I'll only know for sure if this PC dies on me. The last Micron I had lasted 4 years and only the video card died on that one. Got a new Micron, though, because so much had changed within 4 years. Just like so much has changed in these last 4 years. So, I won't know for sure until and if I need a new computer, which will have Vista on it.

To yet bitch more on Vista, on my setup, Windows Update never works right. I always have to restart Windows first before loading Windows Update. Otherwise, the updates won't download.

I apparently liked Midnight more than others. I thought it was good old fashioned bump in the night story with influences from the Twilight Zone's The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street. I also liked how, for once, the Doctor was powerless to do anything. And it took just an unknown person to save the day. After all, how many times has the nameless, faceless person saved the day? Far more than we can ever count. The ironic thing was the mob mentality turned out to be right. That the right decision was to toss Ms. Whatshername out of the car and into the extonic light. Another aspect I liked was the apparent lower budget (The story was mostly contained to one set.) that reminded me of The Edge Of Destruction, a story that took place entirely on TARDIS sets. And, The Edge Of Destruction is one of my favorite "lesser known" stories.

Then, this ComputerWorld article should help. It tells of the author using Nero and switching to ImgBurn. http://www.computerworld.com/action/articl...ticleId=9025855 It appears to be an older article, though.

I wouldn't be surprised if Sci-Fi still trims the episode to get in more commercials. For instance, usually, a 2 hour block is more than fine to fit a movie in, but, they still chop out bits of it to fit in more and more commercials.

Another rather annoying thing for me in Vista is how sometimes you click on a file to do something and it ends up trying to rename the file for you instead.

I don't know how recent this article is, but, I just came across it. It gives a little free advertising for ImgBurn at the bottom paragraph. http://www.pcworld.com/article/147559-2/te...dows_shine.html Don't know if anyone else has pointed this out or not yet either.

What do you know! Big Finish finally took one of my ideas! I once wrote them a while back saying they should do audio adaptations of the two Dalek stage plays, Curse Of The Daleks and The Seven Keys To Doomsday. They went and one upped my idea by also including an adaptation of The Ultimate Adventure! Now, if they'd just accept my other idea and do an adaptation of The Trial Of Davros for charity...

Silence In The Library Just saw this episode, and it was very good! I hope the 2nd part lives up how good the first part was.

I had high hopes for SP1. It got rid of the random changing of the Theme/Desktop I had been experiencing with my initial try outs. Then, a Windows update broke it again.

Another gripe I'd like to make about Vista. It captures files too many times and won't let them go until a restart. Not even Unlocker will clear them because it never finds anything actually locking the files which are actually locked by Vista.

Sci-Fi already does edits for time and content. Dalek had the scene removed where the Doctor produces that alien musical instrument for Van Staten. Then, later on, they blanked out Van Statten's "goddamn it" into just "damn it." I can't see Sci-Fi giving more time to a non-Christmas themed episode. For those, they devote 90 minutes, with ads. But, regular episodes get just 60 minutes, with ads. I appreciate getting the episodes because as you say they're complete and have no ads. Plus, I get to see the credits! In the US, they're scrunched up to the side of the screen while they advertise what happens on next week's Doctor Who. So, if I want to see who played a particular part, I must check TV.COM. Hell, Sci-Fi has even done really dumb things like remove the title and writer cards from episodes. The Master three part arc had no titles or writer credits whatsoever.
