oh one more thing
if you want a good usb powered dvd burner for a net book I got this one
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827249036
its great it works very well and the price isn't too bad. its a nice
portable size, its completely powered off the usb port, and it uses a
surprisingly little power for what it does so its easy on the net books
battery.
if you read the reviews on the site i linked to a lot of people agree
with me the only one that had a con complains about its charging and not
being able to replace its battery which is strange because it doesn't
have a battery.
