What do you fellow lurkers recommend for an external DVD burner that's
easy to move from PC to PC?

Avoid anything with a parallel port. USB is the way to go these days.



I've never seen a parallel port DVD burner.


CD writer, yes. Eg. HP 7200e, but that's probably more than a decade
old.



I have a couple parallel port CDROM drives, but the idea of using a
parallel port for a DVD? It would be a very slow & painful process.
