Any good? In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I can vouch for what Don's saying as well. We had an awful time with a Pinnacle recorder and it's inability to record full 74 minute CD's and a host of other problems. Dumped it for a pioneer drive, and it worked fine. They may have improved, but I'd be very, very careful in any dealings with them.
