Mr. Smith,

I assume that you live in North America.  Tell us more about your chess
database.

You could sell the chess database and raise the funds necessary for a CD burner.
 After you got the money and installed the CDRW then you could deliver the
product.  In any case, you can get a CDRW internal from $100.00 to $200.00 US.

You might have other friends with CD burners.  Ask them.
