Hi. Thanks for your help. I have Windows ME and a Toshiba SD2800 player. Have been very happy with DVD-R, and want to know-
which would be best
external or internal dvd writer

and-
which would be best to work a long time, at the best price
Pioneer
NEC
Sony

would greatly appreciate your experience!

Surely the decision on internal or external comes down to cost difference if any, whether or not you can fit another drive in your PC, if the PSU can handle it etc etc etc - there should be no functional difference between the two unless otherwise stated. Both should perform as advertised.
