Cruddy DVD drive, data overload

Just before I left for Duckon last week, my DVD-R drive died. I've been mostly[1] without a burner now for just 3 or 4 days, and my hard drives are filling up. Between recording History Channel shows and downloading BBC documentaries, the bytes pile up fast. And I've been cutting back!

Luckily the FedEx guy brought me gifts today.
