Sean, welcome back from Jackson Hole. I hope you stayed out of the Snake. Those Grand Tetons will put the awe of nature into the most jaded among us, for sure. This is a bit early (I don't think you're going to be back for more than a week <g>) but I wanted to report to you and the thread that I am, as I type this, using EZ CD Creator 3.5 Pro to burn a CD (at 2x) while also: (1) Surfing here and there (2) Downloading a 5 mb patch to Easy CD Creator 3.5 <g>, after trying to make an image file on a partition with 4.5 gb free and being told not enough space. (Fixes "Treating partitions of more than 4 gb as if only excess over 4gb was free.) (3) Posting on SI. All this on my old 200mhz P6 with PIO Mode 4 dinosaur EIDE disk access. VERY impressive. I've burned a number of CDs with this software but this was the first time I had the guts to actually USE the PC while it was going on more than minimally. Can't even get CPU utilization up to 50%! BTW, thread, a good price for this package on Buy.com today. Spots
