Hardware Hijinks: Cyberhome DVD Burner

To continue the fun of misbehaving hardware, our DVD burner, a Cyberhome cheapie, has been taken out of service. We were having enough problems actually recording things but as of yesterday it simply didn't want to read anything either. No write. No read. Making this something of a DVD holder.

If you Google Cyberhome DVD Burner I think you'll find that we're not alone in this experience. I kinda assumed in this day and age of cheap electronics - if all I needed was to record then I'd be OK. Apparently not.

So second lesson learned ... do not buy Cyberhome.
