I will add that a oem dvd drive for a computer runs from as low as $39 up to about $60 from our parts source here at work. Then most resllers would tack on around $10 or so on that I guess. Cd-rom are around $19 an up so I say that dvd drivers are affordible for the most part. I'm not putting in any cd-rom when i build a new system to put out on a desk here at work or build one for an employee to buy an take home. Now granted you can get a dvd player for home use on tv for around $100 an up thats not too bad. I do not watch dvd's on my computer but i could if i choose to. I can do that if i need to for kids an stuff so i say its an added value to put one in a computer if your ordering a clone to be built to spec an its not that much more costly then a cd-rom drive. just my 2 cents. jack At 04:07 PM 3/13/2003 +0000, sjb wrote:

I understand you can still pick up DOS 5 diskettes at many computer fairs. Assuming you have some kind of transport to get there. (A bicycle will do if that's all you have)
