    Thought I'd post the spec:

     

    Pioneer continue their highly acclaimed series of DVD writers with the DVR-112. As with the 111 series, drives that have the "D" suffix (DVR-112D version) indicates that it won't write DVD-RAM discs, but the this DVR-112 writer will. Both drives will read RAM discs.

     

    There are 6 main differences to the DVR-112D compared to the previous 111 series

    # DVD+/-R writing speed is increased to 18x

    # Dual/Double Layer writing speed is increased to 10x

    # DVD-RAM writing speed is increased to 12x

    # Performance Adjusting Firmware - automatically optimises the disc?s rotation speed depending on the user?s application ? for example, if watching a movie or listening to music, the disc velocity is reduced in order to keep background noise to a minimum

    # Multi-effect Liquid Crystal Tilt Compensator - further improves recording and playback characteristics by compensating for discs that are warped or of uneven thickness (operates at high speeds and with Dual/Double layer discs)

    # Ultra-DRA (Dynamic Rosonance Absober) - suppresses vibration caused by imbalanced discs. Disc-Resonance Stabiliser - controls the airflow generated by the disc-rotation to minimise disc-warping effect that can occur when a disc rotates at high speed.

     

    Price:?20.99

     

    Pioneer drives are the ones we always recommend as the mainstream writers least likely to cause their owners problems. Choice of bezel colours also lets you match the writer colour to your PC chassis (Beige / Black / Silver)

     

    These drives have standard ATAPI interfaces (not SATA) but require 80-wire cables. These drives are also compliant with Reduction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) regulations

     

    The color of this drives bezel is BEIGE

    I've been looking round at LCD's 40"+ and my feeling is LCD at that size just don't cut it. The picture quality isn't there and the picture response time is too slow. If your in the UK the spec is way behind the States which is disappointing. My own favourite is the Samsung although I believe the Sharp Aquos is supposed to have the best screen.

     

    My feeling is prices are being cut on these TV's to clear out old stock so it may be best to hang on till summer which is what I'm doing.

     

    As to 103" - and its over 7' high - put it in a hall and charge admission...

    Something I don't get. Wouldn't it make more sense to co-ordinate the buying of drives as now 3 have been bought and, as you must have drives coming out of your ears, buying must be for testing purposes only.

     

    Just a thought...

    Ended up with a knob you could ski down. Had a Google around for a pic - not a pleasant experience I can tell you.

     

    I thought it was funny, but Red Dwarf did it better years before. (season 8?)

    Yeah I second that...why does it go down so much?

     

    Happy Birthday Volvo...never owned one, but I've been overtaken by loads.

     

    I think it said on the board you were 99, so well done for that. Hope I'm still posting at that age. Telegram from the Queen next time :)

     

    Something to think about...

    PISCES

    (Feb 20 - Mar 20)

     

    Your March Forecast: When astrologers talk about Pisces, they become like painters trying to create a colourful picture with only one pot of purple paint. They twitter on about the 'dreamy', 'poetic' 'idealistic' nature of your sign. On the rare occasion they remember to credit you with common sense, they grudgingly describe it as 'intuitive'. They imply that your wisest choices are made more by luck than judgement. They forget that Einstein was a Piscean. He may well have had a creative side to his personality but he was a powerful, rational thinker too. Neptune and Saturn, this month, suggest you've got a tough choice to make. And you're about to get it brilliantly right.
