I second what Lloyd says - buy a DVD-RW drive - they're down to around 
$60 Australian - about $45 US$ I guess. They can burn CD-R, CD-RW, 
DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW and DVD+RW in most cases. The latest ones also do 
double layer (8.5GB DVDs). Most if not all recent makes of drive should 
work - my present drive is an 16X ASUS (Cost AUS$59) but I've also used 
Ricoh and Pioneer - all seem to work fine with CDR-TOOLs (CDs) and 
DVDDAO (DVDs).
