It's always the case. I'm sure that Plextor does make great drives, and I
should keep an open mind. I guess that's human nature, to take sides like
that. It's too bad about your Yamaha experience, they do make great cd's; in
my opinion as good as NEC.
Thanks for helping me recognize my human traits, sometimes I think I'm more
Vulcan in nature.

Funny, I have the exact opposite experience. I had a Yamaha 2100S (I
think) which was a nice SCSI burner that died completely in a short
time (5 months?) Yamaha refused to honor the warranty because it
WASN'T PURCHASED AT AN AUTHORIZED DEALER.
After 25 years mucking with computer hardware that is a first in my
book, and the last time I buy anything that says Yamaha on it.
I now have a Teac 40x IDE drive which is insanely fast, fully supported
in OSX (finder and itunes support) and support buffer under run
protection.
None of my various plextor drives have ever failed... They are pricier
then most though.
