Another "satisfied customer" here. :D

I purchased a Verbatim 43890 from Staples (Prices Corner shopping center, Wilmington, DE) yesterday. It has a Pioneer BDR-UD03 in it. I emailed the drive info to Billycar11 last night, got a quick response, and received the flasher before I woke up this morning. I just flashed my drive and I'm ripping now. Couldn't ask for more on a Friday night into Saturday morning.

Thank you!
