dvd+/-rw... go me
i just installed an internal DVD±RW drive (i paid way less than listed on that link, btw), into my laptop.
see, a few months back i, uh, dropped my laptop. on the hardwood floor in my apartment. one of the many reasons alanna needs a toughbook. anyway, the drop totally busted the dvd/cd-rw drive that i got with the laptop, so for a long time i was using my external DVD burner as my sole optical drive.
but no more! and i'm proud of myself for taking apart the casing, getting the new drive into it, and then getting it all working with my laptop.
of course, my monitor is still held on by string (uh, the screws that held it on kinda got their heads taken off in the fall)... but i'll tackle that another time.
anyone want to buy an (external for laptop, internal for desktop) DVD-RW drive off me for say $50?
