| ->> will the same one work for both a PC and MAC or are 2 separate ones needed? |

->> Most external burners will work with a mac/PC.
Depending on the software. NERO and Toast have yet to fail me on burning disks even from the most obscure brands.
Which one are you thinking of purchasing Debra? |

->> Check on newegg.com
They will probably have the best prices and have good reviews for you. Good luck! |

->> Kirby,
I got an ASUS DVD/CD burner yesterday-it didn't come with Nero or Toast (I remember my old one did)
I think it may go back and I will try OWC.

->> Debra --- I assume your Mac is running OS X, so if you're burning just data, you can do this via the Finder by creating a "Burn Folder".
Personally I usually use Toast, but using OS X's disk burner feature works fine for data.
The OWC external burners are not "pretty" but are very functional, inexpensive and just plan work.

->> Thanks Robert,
yes, it is running OS X
I am going to try to burn a CD with it to see how I like it-it's reallt small which is the reason I bought it (travelling with the netbook and this small burner is nice)
