[Wlug] more alphabet soup :-(

[Robert L Krawitz]

I wound up not buying a DVD writer at all.  Micro Center had a Buslink
48x12x48 (which when I opened it up turned out to be a 48x24x48) for
$20, and both Micro Center and Best Buy had really good deals on
CD-R's.  I'm nervous enough about the mess of formats that I don't
feel like spending $300 on something that might be completely
worthless in 6 months.  CD-R's have been around a while and are
completely standard.

At that price, I'll put up with the inconvenience.  If I use gzip
rather than bzip2 compression, I think things will be fast enough so
that backups won't be that much of an annoyance.
