To buy or not to buy...
I wasn't planning on buying a DVD drive for my netbook. But I need one to install software on it (like the MS Office I just ordered). And I'll be able to watch movies on it when I travel. Cheapest one is $40:

If you are going to get an external DVD drive, get one that -) Burns DVD's (-
Then you can also backup your data.
Of course, you can backup your data using a USB flash drive, or an SD card, but if you are going to spend money, you might as well make the most effective use of it...
