Well, here is a lateral one for you. If you buy a retail Nero, Roxio or anything else, look between £35 -£50. If however you treat yourself to a new DVD or DVD RW drive - same with CD and CDRW then you can pay £50 for the drive - and get the OEM software bundled free.
Depends how old your machine is and what spec it is, but if something in the line of (a little arbitrary, I admit) Athlon 800/P3 upwards, then you have a viable machine for some time to come and a new, much more capable drive might give it a bit of pazazz.
Just a thought... :-)
