I'd have to doubt it considering they're new, but even if there is, it still is probably expiremental.

Who'd have thought DVD burning would come out so quick. Then again, it was being developed a while ago. Oh well, I can't keep track of time.

1. Though this is probably not what you meant by:
...if there is...
but there are DVD-RW drives available. TDK sell the DVD-RW disks. As for the drives, don't know where you can get them, but their price is coming down......

2. Got any clue where "it" might be?

Thanks for your help!
