Gypsy -

The Yamaha we got is not a DVD. Just plain ol' CDs, but does the R/Ws if you want to.

When I couldn't find anything locally, I took the recommendation from magazine reviews, went to the Yamaha site and found the "latest" version similar to one that had gotten good reviews. We've had it for about half a year, so there may be a later model, although I don't think there's been much meaningful improvement recently.

We're quite happy with it. My only problem is that it's in the SO's machine, so I have to send her to bed (alone) if I want to use it. I have two hard drives in mine, so would have to add another EIDE card to put one in it; and one per family is really enough for us.
