announced that the new Spectrum DVD±R/RW drive

"In
today's increasingly personalized marketplace, many of
our customers want their computer gear, including the
DVD/CD burner, to reflect their unique personality,"
said Howard Wing, vice president of sales and marketing

matches the interior decorations of their home or office.
