I've got an Acer cdrom...  it works great.  I don't understand why you
people hate Acer.  I've also got an Acer cd-r at home and I haven't had
any problems with any cds or whatever you're talking about.  I just
think HP burners are a bit overpriced.  If you want a burner, go with
plexor.  You can't go wrong there.

HP actually is harder to work with because their tech support is so
f*cked up.  When they shipped me a bad cdrom at one point, it took weeks
for them to send me a RMA number and then another few weeks for them to
ship me the working cdrom.  If you want good support, don't go with HP.

that's my $0.02.
