I am a certified tech and I can tell you that getting a DVD RW drive is the better bet in the long run. They can burn CD's & DVD's, and for a little extra you can get a blue-ray burner. However finding just a CD burner is like finding a VHS player; you can find them but they cost as much as a DVD burner and they are limited to burning just CD's. And don't spend more then $40 for an internal drive and $80 for an external USB drive or your getting riped off. And Jim you may want to consider this for an idea... publish the CD's as planed over 3 months and then on a 4th month offer a DVD that would include everything that the CD's have on them at a slightly discounted price (like save 5 or 10 bucks on the total price) that way you can please the most people with the most options possible for the least cost (it cost approx $1.50 per disk to produce including time, disk, and jewel box to put it in; per disk. "Not including the art work" no matter
weather you are making a CD or a DVD).
and thats my 2 cents worth...
