My wife and I will be celebrating our tenth anniversary with a twelve-day trip to London next month. We've both visited England before and have done most of the tourist-y things, so this time we're giving ourselves the time and the...

Thanks for the help, guys. I'm thinking about ordering an NEC ND-3520A, and the best price I've found is $64.50 from ZipZoomFly.com. Any other advice (about drives or etailers) before I make the plunge? Thanks.
