    One thing www.buy.com is really good for, even if you don't buy from them,
    is to get pricing information on a general search.  You can then use it
    to do comparison shopping.

	http://www.buy.com/
	click on "comp"
	Search for "rewritable"

    And there you have it.  The smart-and-friendly lists for $460 (yowzer!).
    The older Yahama models (SCSI) list for $325.   The lowest cost one
    appears to be the HP or Yamaha IDE versions for $200, too bad FreeBSD
    can't use it under IDE (but personally I think SCSI is the only way to
    go).  Hmm.  Plexor lists a SCSI one for $268 but I dunno if it works.
    Hi-Val lists a SCSI one ofr $282.  Again, dunno if it works.
