Tom,
I usually get humor right away but something, maybe it is a long day of writing code or talking to customers or whatever, I am kind of slow to catch on <g>.
The DVD writer I have is nice (SONY) and it works well as a took for backup (this is exactly why I bought it). But I have a bunch of live concerts DVDs (who has the time to attend real concerts <g>). So I thought it would be nice to set up an old PC, hook it up with my DVD writer and watch the concert while working on another pc.
But, as I mentioned, because the old PC has a slow (not-high-speed) USB, this PC is useless for watching DVD. :(

>>I don't know what you mean by "several meanings" (or maybe I am just too tired to think <g>). But actually after all the trouble I can't really watch the DVD. The DVD is external and the computer has a low-speed USB (or NON-HIGH-SPEED) connection. So the sound is very very bad. So I will have to either look at upgrading USB port to a higher speed or just throw away the computer <g>.
