I think £50 is good, but what about the rest of you?
Looks good, but I don't see anything about software. You might want to check on that as CD writing software could easily be as much again.

Does the software have to be hardware specific?

No, you can use any software with any CD-RW. There's a few to choose from eg. Nero, Easy CD Creator, CDRWIN. Nero is the best choice IMO.

So; I had an ancient external CD-R from HP - the software from that should work?

IIRC HP supplied Adaptec Easy CD Creator with their drives. If you've got a copy of that it should work with any CD-RW. The other software supplied by HP was a program called HP MyCD. I think this is written to work only with HP drives.
