I thought about that, even if the things are at least twice the price here
in France as they are back in the Big PX.  Of course, DVD-Rs are about five
times the cost here as in the USA, so maybe I shouldn't complain about the
price of hard drives.

My main objection is that it's another dam' thing to carry, but I might just
have to make room.

Thanks for the reminder.
