Right now I'm writing a set of ISOs to CDs with CD-Mate to the external 1394 drive that I appropriate from someone else when they didn't need it anymore.

This just reminded me of something Fish would enjoy:

Way back when I was on the Compaq and then BlacI, I had a terrible CD-RW drive that, well, was terrible. It constantly got stuck in that "Spin up, spin down" cycle and you had to access the disk at the right moment from within Windows or it would get stuck in that cycle.

Another thing, we HATED Nero because, more often then not it would crash or screw up writing a CD (On 98SE and later, 2000). It was so delicate you couldn't do ANYTHING while writing a CD or it was a guaranteed buffer underrun or worse. Now, it's copying in the background on BlacIIR2 and I'm still felt like I should've left it when I started to come here and type this out...

  • Lol that reminds me of my brothers early PC back with 98FE if he wrote any higher than 2x speed usualy the disc would fail burning, he couldn't do anything whist it was burning or it would screw it up. Ahh the memories. His pc back then was a 233 with 48 or 64 meg of ram:P His other comp (which i now have) had similar problems until he put it onto 98SE then they went away. This has a 500MHz AMDK7 and had 96meg of ram back then:P
