Was it that expensive? Anyway, the world has changed so much. You can 
probably find a decent dvd+rw drive for $30 or $40 now. My original point 
was that people like us who listened to CDs in the 80's quite likely 
still possess real hi-fi cd players or integrated cd/amp/tuner systems. 
These systems are unaffected by the cd copy protection methods.
