they make hard drives that can store ripped DVDs, do you?

There is no such unit out there that I am aware of. There are several
standalone units, and also network attached storage devices which will store
thousands of DVDs which require that you rip all the DVDs to their server
farm (see:
http://www.excelmeridiandata.com/products/datashare_x2/index.shtml
but I don't get the impression that you are looking for either of these 2
types.
Smarty
Correct!
I dont want those and I dont want to rip anything to HD either. I just
want something like the Imation unit that stores 100 to 150 dvds,
connects to PC via usb and also has a dvd player in it!!! It would be
great for movies and music but also just for data storage. Imation
unit would be absolutely perfect if it played dvds.

Well, one such unit that playes 300 DVDs is the Pioneer DV-F727
301-Disc DVD Changer.
Don't mind my asking, Light Bright, but actually I wonder why you need
to play 100 DVDs? I have a huge DVD collection as well, but I thought
having a 10 DVD disc changer or something like that would suffice.

Well I cant speak for light brite but as for me I need it because I
have so many dvds and it would greatly help my cataloging as well. If
this type of unit could be stacked like the imation unit which is
connected to a pc via usb, it would be perfect. The menu system is
great on that unit. Actually as I said before the imation unit is
perfect for my needs however it just needs a dvd player in it.

You can likely connect an infra-red device to your computer
to control any of the standalone devices.

Neither the Pioneer 727 or the Sony 400 DVD changers can automatically play
double sided DVDs. Since double sided disks represent a very small
percentage of the commercial releases, and since many double sided disks are
merely movies with one format 4:3 on one side and 16:9 widescreen on the
other, the manufacturers of these jukeboxes believe (correctly) that the
costs of adding dual sided playing would be unnecessary and overly complex
and expensive.

Justin,
These disks would definitely be a problem for the changers on the market
since none of them do double sided playing automatically. I've also found
that manually finding and flipping a single disk in the carousel is a big
pain, more so on the Sony than on the Pioneer. The 300 disk Pioneer 727 has
reasonable spacing from disk to disk, whereas the Sony changers squeeze 400
DVDs into the carousel in an extremely tight fit.
You could always rip both sides and remaster those disks to a single sided
double layer disk at lower bitrate. Not a great solution, but one which
would overcome the need to flip the disk. I had to do this with one of my
favorite movies (Robert DiNiro's Goodfellows) and a few other DVDs which
split the movie from front to back of the DVD.

Because not everyone receives every post in order, or at all. There may
not BE a rest of the crap.
If you are sending a reply to a message or a posting be sure you
summarize the original at the top of the message, or include just enough
text of the original to give a context. This will make sure readers
understand when they start to read your response. Since NetNews,
especially, is proliferated by distributing the postings from one host
to another, it is possible to see a response to a message before seeing
the original.
Top-posting makes posts incomprehensible. Firstly: In normal
conversations, one does not answer to something that has not yet been
said. So it is unclear to reply to the top, whilst the original message
is at the bottom. Secondly: In western society a book is normally read
from top to bottom. Top-posting forces one to stray from this
convention: Reading some at the top, skipping to the bottom to read the
question, and going back to the top to continue. This annoyance
increases even more than linear with the number of top-posts in the
message. If someone replies to a thread and you forgot what the thread
was all about, or that thread was incomplete for some reasons, it will
be quite tiresome to rapidly understand what the thread was all about,
due to bad posting and irrelevant text which has not been removed.
