I made the same mistake only I got 2 of the DVD Recording units for $50 a piece... great deal eh?!?! :) hehhehe oh well. I got one of their mp3 juke boxes with out the 20 pin usb which is proving equally hard to find. Gateway of course has a solution... for $139 they will sell you a learning remote... they wont sell you the usb cord however for a product they still sell. I wonder what you do if your past the warrantee and you break your cord? hmmmm this sounds like a company on its way out.
