Absolutely wonderful!!! After downloading and running thru the firmware upgrade/reboot process, ImgBurn wrote the DVD's flawlessly and, in fact, I believe, did them much faster than they ever used to on my HP drive (averaged 6x with peaks at 8.3x)! Thank you very much mmalves! An appropriate Happy Thanksgiving I would say! - sol
