Thanks, ZP, very informative. Dampens my childish enthusiasm
somewhat, which, at my age, is a healthy thing I think.
More watching is in order, especially since my 2x chugs
along in the background while I play Battle Commander ... <g>

Overburn, yes, it's a royal pain in the gazpacho if you've
put 73'48" of music on your 74' CD and the *&^%** writer won't

even though it's out of spec, I understand, and most
writers will do that. My 2x won't reliably -- burned
my first coster with the adaptec software tody that way.
Disk burned flawlessly but I couldn't close the sucker.

try on a CD-R.

It upsets my CDRom drives no end. Kind of funny, actually.

for audio. Put the coaster in and 20 seconds later the carrier
came flying out like the drive had indigestion. Haw.
