As quick as i got this, I had it hooked up and was using it to download music onto my computer. Easy hook up , easy use, I had the music downloaded in no time, and this old gal is a happy camper. Came with the wires too, which made it even easier, thanks so much for coming up with an external DVD/Cd drive for computers such as mine that has none.  and I have missed watching DVDs on my computer, so I will be doing that too all too soon. and again thanks.
