If it's not one thing, it's another...

elfsAfter burning only about 70 DVDs or so, my burner apparently died in the night. My hard drive has been filling up and I haven't had the disk space necessary to render more than one DVD at a time-- a useful thing to be able to do, to set up multiple render sessions before going to bed, since I know I won't be able to actually get to master and burn phase 20 hours later, and two render sessions can be done in that time.
So I've been making archive disks, 4GB apiece. I had just made one and went to put in another, and the machine just started to rattle horribly, couldn't recognize the disk, and then ultimately wouldn't give the blank back to me.
I've only had it for five months or so. And it's actually become quite important to me: it's allowed me to finally do something I've wanted to do for a long time, which is get into anime and practice my Japanese seriously. Ah, well. I managed to find some disk space to offload my excess (the windows drive was barely 10% used) until I can either see if this one is under warranty or get a new one. New ones are running about ninety bucks, which isn't fatal, just annoying. I hope I can find the box.
