As therez hardly any difference bet. the cost of a combo drive and a dvd writer i'd better suggest a DVD writer .. as this will solve all kind of media problem (- blu ray& HD dvd.s)

Instead of combo drive get a dvd writer as both of them cost almost identical.Buy Liteon LH 20A1P or Sony DRU-830a.

hmmmm now thinking here.... i do see those smiles (not just one smiley)

makes me wonder now... Good point made "gmanog"

Not to mention the smiley faces are all "GREEN"... hmmm green = evil !!!

So was "abhi 1301" giving "Evil Smiley and laughing?" (with all echo and reverb set at higher decibel?)

One can only wonder !!!
