May I ask : who has the write to read a DVD ? This is getting VERY confusing !
I have a lasptop with a DVD. Obvioulsy some people were able to design software (under
Windoze)
to use it or they would not sell it (I do have one of those) .
So : what is the deal here ???? How did those guys get the right to do it (do you need
to buy it ???)
