Oh, Jo, you have NO idea! It's been a saga that's lasted (or at least begun) a few years ago. Backing up to DVD wasn't really an option for me (as I understand it) because for some files (audio) the quality was very important. Whether this is true or not (and I'd be interested to know your opinion) it spurred me to get the drive, which I really do need to have.

I am very proud of myself though because last night I managed to figure out how to get old Quicken 2002 files into the same re-installed version. I thought it would be a lot easier to figure out than it was, just install, open file and voila! But it wasn't. (I don't even really use Quicken but I needed that old data!)
